Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification01:24

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

16.0K
Bone formation, or ossification, begins around the sixth to seventh week of embryonic development. Most bones develop from a cartilaginous template through the process of endochondral ossification. Cartilage formation begins when clusters of mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. These chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an extracellular matrix that becomes encased in a membrane called the perichondrium. The resulting cartilage model provides a template that resembles the...

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Bone Disorders

8.7K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Bone Remodeling

41.3K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

4.1K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Ollier disease is a rare congenital disorder characterized by multiple enchondromas.
  • Enchondromas are benign cartilaginous tumors that typically affect the bones of the hands and feet.
  • Nail abnormalities are not commonly associated with Ollier disease.

Observation:

  • A patient with Ollier disease presented with significant onycholysis and nail dystrophy.
  • Onycholysis is the separation of the nail from the nail bed.
  • Nail dystrophy refers to abnormal changes in the nail's texture, color, or shape.

Findings:

  • Imaging revealed a subungual enchondroma, a benign tumor located beneath the fingernail.
  • The enchondroma was identified as the likely cause of the patient's nail abnormalities.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the benign nature of the enchondroma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare manifestation of Ollier disease involving the nails.
  • Subungual enchondromas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nail dystrophy and onycholysis, especially in patients with Ollier disease.
  • Early diagnosis and management of subungual enchondromas can prevent further nail damage and improve cosmetic outcomes.
