Summary

Physician-prescribed or unknown medications can cause drug-induced musculoskeletal changes, affecting all ages. Radiologists often detect these metabolic bone abnormalities, including teratogenic and nonteratogenic effects.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology and Radiology
  • Skeletal System Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Medications, both prescribed and unmonitored, can induce significant metabolic alterations in the musculoskeletal system.
  • These drug-induced effects can impact individuals across all life stages, from developing fetuses to adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the radiological manifestations of drug-induced metabolic changes in the musculoskeletal system.
  • To discuss the teratogenic and nonteratogenic effects of medications on bone development and health.
  • To highlight the radiologist's role in identifying these adverse drug reactions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of radiological findings associated with drug-induced metabolic bone diseases.
  • Categorization of drug effects based on teratogenicity and timing of administration.
  • Analysis of potential drug impacts on fetal, infant, child, and adult musculoskeletal systems.

Main Results:

  • Medications can lead to conditions such as drug-induced embryopathies, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and rickets.
  • Proliferative changes in bone may also be associated with certain drug therapies.
  • Radiological imaging is crucial for detecting these metabolic bone abnormalities.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists play a key role in the early identification of drug-induced musculoskeletal pathologies.
  • Understanding the timing of drug administration is critical for predicting teratogenic versus nonteratogenic effects.
  • Awareness of these drug effects is essential for comprehensive patient care and diagnosis.
