Elbow abnormalities in renal osteodystrophy.

M E Kricun, D Resnick

AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology

|March 1, 1983

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Renal osteodystrophy can cause subtendinous bone resorption around the elbow, particularly at muscle insertion sites. These changes, especially at the anconeus and triceps insertions, may be prominent features of hyperparathyroidism.

Background:

Renal osteodystrophy is a common complication of chronic kidney disease.
Hyperparathyroidism frequently accompanies renal osteodystrophy, leading to bone abnormalities.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe characteristic elbow abnormalities in patients with renal osteodystrophy.
To highlight the association between these elbow changes and hyperparathyroidism.

Main Methods:

Radiographic evaluation of nine patients with renal osteodystrophy.
Detailed analysis of bone abnormalities around the elbow joint.

Main Results:

Subtendinous bone resorption was observed at muscle insertion and origin sites.

Related Experiment Videos

Most striking abnormalities were noted at the anconeus muscle insertion and olecranon (triceps tendon insertion).

Elbow changes were the most prominent feature of hyperparathyroidism in three patients.

Conclusions:

Elbow abnormalities, specifically subtendinous bone resorption, are characteristic of renal osteodystrophy.
These findings can be significant indicators of underlying hyperparathyroidism in patients with kidney disease.
