This case study details a young woman with chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (CDSO) of the femur. Treatment with risedronate led to significant symptom relief and improved bone turnover markers.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (CDSO) is a rare, debilitating bone condition.
  • Conventional treatments often provide limited relief for patients with CDSO.
  • This study focuses on a unique case of CDSO in a young adult female.

Observation:

  • The patient presented with a shortened left leg and severe, persistent pain.
  • Radiological imaging and bone biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of CDSO.
  • Pain was refractory to standard analgesic interventions.

Findings:

  • Treatment with risedronate, a bisphosphonate, was initiated.
  • The patient experienced a dramatic improvement in pain and leg length.
  • Biochemical markers indicated a significant reduction in bone turnover.

Implications:

  • Risedronate represents a novel and effective therapeutic option for CDSO.
  • This finding may guide future treatment strategies for this challenging condition.
  • Further research is warranted to explore bisphosphonate efficacy in CDSO management.
