概括
肢体长度差异 (LLD) 影响超过90%的骨质发育不完善 (OI) 的儿童,无论严重程度或手术干预. 在OI中LLD不遵循可预测的增长模式.
科学领域:
- 儿科整形外科 儿科整形外科
- 遗传学和肌肉骨系统疾病
背景情况:
- 骨质变生不完美 (OI) 是一种影响原的遗传疾病,导致骨脆和形.
- 手术干预,主要是骨髓内划线,用于OI的渐进性形.
- 肢体长度差异 (LLD) 是一种已知的并发症,但其患病率和导致OI的因素尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 确定患有骨质发育不完善 (OI) 的儿童中LLD的患病率.
- 为了确定与儿科OI患者LLD相关的风险因素.
- 分析OI患者的LLD随时间的纵向变化.
主要方法:
- 一项对78名患有OI儿童的回顾性研究,包括30例非手术和48例手术病例.
- 在至少两年内,使用全长下肢放射图进行LLD的纵向跟踪.
- LLD定义为股骨和骨联合长度>5毫米的差异;手术患者需要18个月的术后数据.
主要成果:
- 在90%的非手术患者和96%的手术患者中观察到LLD.
- 与非手术组 (0.43厘米) 相比,手术组 (1厘米) 的平均LLD显著更高.
- 没有发现LLD和OI严重程度,行走状态或杆数之间的关联;LLD的进展因人而异.
结论:
- 在所有严重程度的OI儿童中,LLD的患病率超过90%.
- 外科手术的骨髓内硬化并不是在OI中发展LLD的独立风险因素.
- 在OI患者中,LLD不表现出一致的生长模式,随着时间的推移观察到个体变化.

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
2.9K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Bone Disorders
3.9K
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...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
2.2K
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...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula
5.1K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
1.6K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

Introduction to the Skeletal System
6.8K
The skeletal system is the central framework of the body, consisting of different connective tissues: bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
Cartilage, a semi-rigid connective tissue found in regions such as...
