Davol, 76 Mildred Avenue, Swansea, MA 02777-1620 pdavol@labbies.com Growing Pains: Growth-Associated Bone Disorders in the Dog (revised and updated for 2000) What are "growing pains"? "Growing pains" are symptoms most often affecting medium, large, and giant breeds of dog: those breeds that are usually subjected to rapid growth periods within their first year of development. Symptoms of pain and lameness can be the result of any trauma to bones, joints, or the supporting soft tissues, but often they are caused by specific diseases of the bone. During normal growth and development, cartilage growth precedes bone formation. The cartilage grows and becomes calcified. Vessels from the bone marrow invade this calcified layer of cartilage. Some of the calcified cartilage is resorbed, but some remains and is used as a framework for the bone. In instances of bone disease, one or more of these steps is interrupted and the formation of bone ceases or causes a defect if bone formation continues. Exposure of incompletely formed or abnormally formed bone to pressure and tension resulting from movement causes symptoms of pain and lameness. It is important to understand that "growing pains" are a symptom and do not constitute a diagnosis. For proper treatment of bone disease and prevention of further bone damage leading to secondary complications of osteoarthritis, it is essential that the underlying cause of pain and lameness be identified.

Bone Disorders Giantism is a condition of abnormally increased height that usually results from excessive cartilage and bone formation at the epiphyseal plates of long bones. The most common type of giantism, pituitary giantism, results from excess secretion of pituitary growth hormone. However, the large stature of some individuals can result from genetic factors rather than from abnormal levels of growth hormone. Acromegaly (ak'ro-meg'al-e) is also caused by excess pituitary growth hormone secretion. However, acromegaly involves growth of connective tissue, including bones, after the epiphyseal plates have ossified. The effect mainly involves increased diameter of all bones and is most strikingly apparent in the face and hands. Many pituitary giants also develop acromegaly later in life. Dwarfism, the condition in which a person is abnormally short, is the opposite of giantism. Pituitary dwarfism results when abnormally low levels of pituitary growth hormone affect the whole body, thus producing a small person who is normally proportioned. Achondroplastic (a-kon'dro-plas'tik) dwarfism, involving a disproportionate shortening of the long bones, is more common than proportionate dwarfing and produces a person with a nearly normal-sized trunk and head but shorter-than-normal limbs. Most cases of achondroplastic dwarfism are the result of genetic defects that cause deficient or improper growth of the cartilage model, especially the epiphyseal plate, and often involve deficient collagen synthesis. Often the cartilage matrix does not have its normal integrity, and the chondrocytes of the epiphysis cannot form their normal columns, even through rates of cell proliferation may be normal.

BONE by Robert C. Mellors, M.D., Ph.D. II. Congenital and Hereditary Bone Disorders 1. Achondroplasia General Considerations A chondroplasia is a congenital and often hereditary (autosomal dominant) skeletal disorder characterized by a unique form of dwarfism and bone deformity resulting in a disproportinate shortness of the extremities relative to the trunk. : Achondroplasia: note the disproportionate shortness of the extremities to the trunk in this form of dwarfism. Achondroplasia is caused by a failure of proliferation and column formation of epiphysial cartilage cells, that is, by a defect in endochondral bone formation which impairs the longitudinal growth of the tubular bones. Point mutations in the FGR3 gene (encoding fibroblast growth receptors) on human chromosome 4 p segregate with disease in achondroplasia families (Rousseau, F., et al. Nature 371:252-254, 1994). Pathology A chondroplasia shows various degrees of expression. The severest cases result in fetal or neonatal death, and milder cases survive and comprise the commonest type of adult dwarfism. The adult height in achondroplasia is usually less than four feet. The extremities (legs, arms, fingers, toes) are very short (micromelia) relative to the trunk which is only slightly shortened. Intramembraneous ossification is not affected. The head (cranial vault) is large. The root of the nose is depressed. The skeletal deformities just noted along with normal intelligence and sexual development distinguish achondroplasia from dwarfism resulting from endocrine and nutritional deficiencies and other causes.

ViaHealth Disease and Wellness Information Bone Disorders ViaHealth's Bone Disorder Services Laboratories Cancer Care Orthopaedics Osteosarcoma What is osteosarcoma? Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that develops in the osteoblast cells that form the outer covering of bone. It occurs most often in children, adolescents, and young adults. Approximately 900 new cases of osteosarcoma are reported each year in the US. It occurs nearly twice as often in males than in females, and represents 5 percent of all childhood cancers. Osteosarcoma most commonly occurs in the long bones around the knee. Other sites for osteosarcoma include the upper leg, or thighbone, the lower leg, upper arm bone, or any bone in the body, including those in the pelvis, shoulder, and skull. Osteosarcoma may metastasize, or spread, into nearby tissues of the foot, or into tendons or muscles. It may also metastasize through the bloodstream to other organs or bones in the body.

These bones serve as armor for vital organs and soft tissue, a storehouse for minerals, and a birthplace for blood cells. Together, the bones act in concert with the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissue to give humans an amazing range of movement. Most bone diseases are rare, but a few pose serious health problems. Osteoporosis, for example, is a progressive loss of bone substance that affects about 25 million Americans, mostly postmenopausal caucasian women. Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is widespread among people over 40. (See Chapter 3, "Coping with Arthritis.") Low back pain, which often results from slipped vertebrae or disks, is the second most frequent cause of lost work for adults under 45 years of age.

(risk factors, aetiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and information regarding support groups) My son has a hereditary bone disorder that I think is called "Dyaphesal Aclasis". It manifests itself by the growth of extra bone nodules at the end of the bones. What I'm looking for is information on how the disease develops. I have a bone disorder called ostiocondritius. I am unsure if I have spelt this correctly. I have had this disorder since I was 13 years old. All the doctors I have seen cannot give me a cure or what is causing this disorder. This bone disorder has affected both of my arms, crumbling of my joints, and is very painful. I have had two operations on both arms to remove loose bodies, but still have not been able to find a cure. Please can u help me or point me in the right direction? responses: What can you tell me about osteosarcoma?

Site Map English - Adult English - Pediatric Spanish - Adult ... Online Resources Bone Disorders All About Bone What is bone? Bone is living tissue that makes up the body's skeleton. There are three types of bone tissue, including the following: compact tissue - the harder, outer tissue of bones. cancellous tissue - the sponge-like tissue inside bones. subchondral tissue - the smooth tissue at the ends of bones, which is covered with another type of tissue called cartilage. Cartilage is the specialized, gristly connective tissue that is present in adults, and the tissue from which most bones develop in children. Together, compact and cancellous tissues are called the periosteum . Beneath the hard outer shell of the periosteum there are tunnels and canals through which blood and lymphatic vessels run to carry nourishment for the bone. Muscles, ligaments, and tendons may attach to the periosteum. Bones are classified by their shape - as long, short, flat, and irregular. Primarily, they are referred to as long or short.
