Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

3.7K
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...

Cardiomyopathy IV: Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

12
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare heart muscle disease characterized by impaired ventricular filling due to stiffened ventricular walls, leading to significant diastolic dysfunction.EtiologyRestrictive cardiomyopathy can arise from both inherited and acquired diseases, many of which are systemic. It is categorized into four main types: infiltrative, storage, non-infiltrative, and endomyocardial diseases.Infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis, lead to RCM by depositing amyloid...

Flail Chest-I

Overview of Flail Chest
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

996
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum01:21

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

5.8K
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum or smooth ER is a sub-organelle with specialized functions in animal cells and plant cells. It is often associated with the tubule morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The ER provides optimal conditions for synthesizing steroid hormones and lipids, such as phospholipids and triglycerides. Traditionally, lipid metabolism was considered to be a smooth ER function. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that rough ER is completely excluded from lipid...

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

291
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...

Summary

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the ribs is typically benign and asymptomatic. However, this case required surgical excision of the 10th and 11th ribs due to interference with urological procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue.
  • Rib involvement is uncommon, and lesions are often asymptomatic, usually not necessitating surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with left-sided 10th and 11th rib fibrous dysplasia.
  • The condition impeded a urologist's ability to perform renal stone extraction.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the affected 10th and 11th ribs was performed.
  • Chest wall reconstruction was necessary following the rib excision.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare instance where asymptomatic rib fibrous dysplasia required surgical management due to functional obstruction.
  • Demonstrates the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in managing complex orthopedic conditions impacting other surgical specialties.
  • Emphasizes the need for tailored surgical approaches when benign bone lesions interfere with necessary medical interventions.
