What are the manifestations of fragile osteosclerosis?

summary

Fragile osteosclerosis often occurs in the cancellous bone of long and short tubular bones, as well as in the scapula, pelvis and other flat bones and irregular bone. It is rare to have diaphyseal or intracranial lesions. X-ray examination is the main diagnostic basis of the disease. Most of the lesions had higher central density and lower marginal density, and a few had lower central density. By then, the edges will be clear. So, how to diagnose and differentiate fragile osteosclerosis? Let's learn together. Hope to help you! I hope everyone is healthy and happy!

What are the manifestations of fragile osteosclerosis?

1. Fragile osteosclerosis is characterized by osteogenic metastases with different morphologies. It was asymmetrically distributed in the axial bone. The epiphysis is usually not involved, showing a fuzzy edge of cotton ball like dense shadow. Punctate epiphyseal dysplasia: it is a congenital type of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. The lesions are multiple spots, small and dense, symmetrically distributed, and can disappear with age.

2. Bone infarction or decompression sickness: the lesion has certain limitation. It usually occurs at the end of long bone or medullary cavity, usually in the form of spot or cord, which is bone necrosis. The latter has a history of deep water operation. Epiphyseal cartilage dysplasia: Spotted calcification, only in the metaphyseal region, multiple lesions, symmetrical calcification, small and irregular, metaphyseal swelling and irregular edge.

3. Waxy oil osteopathy: This is formed by the formation of long or patchy dense, only in the metaphyseal area. Multiple lesions, symmetrical calcification small and irregular, metaphyseal swelling and irregular edge. Striated osteopathy: the lesions are usually dense striations of different width and length, which are common in the metaphysis and can extend to the backbone. In cases involving the epiphysis, the bone morphology is rare, and there is no obvious abnormality.
