Other characters Osteomalacia, a group of disorders resulting from inadequate or delayed mineralization of osteoid in mature cortical and spongy bone, which in some ways is closely related to rickets (an interruption in orderly development and mineralization of the growth plate). These two entities have similar gross pathological, histological, and radiological findings. Among the causative factors of both disorders are abnormalities of vitamin D metabolism and syndromes resulting primarily from renal tubular phosphate loss. Prior to closure of the growth plate, rickets and osteomalacia coexist. Osteomalacia is characterized by abnormal quantities of osteoid coating the surfaces of trabeculae and lining the haversian canals in the cortex (osteoid seams). Loosers zones or Milkmans pseudofractures are strongly suggestive but not diagnostic of osteomalacia ( Fig.1 Fig.2 ). Frequently osteitis fibrosa cystica is superimposed on the lesions of osteomalacia.

Rickets/Osteomalacia Introduction Checklist Symptoms Treatments ... References Children with rickets have abnormal bone formation resulting from inadequate calcium in their bones. This lack of calcium can result from inadequate dietary calcium, inadequate exposure to sunshine (needed to make vitamin D), or from not eating enough vitamin D egg yolks and dairy products Rickets can also be caused by conditions that impair absorption of vitamin D and/or calcium, even when these nutrients are consumed in appropriate amounts. Activation of vitamin D in the body requires normal liver and kidney function. Damage to either organ can cause rickets. Some variations of rickets do not respond well to supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. Proper diagnosis must be made by a healthcare professional. Osteomalacia is an adult version of rickets. This condition is treated with vitamin D, sometimes in combination with calcium supplements. Osteomalacia should be diagnosed, and its treatment monitored, by a doctor.

Community Advisor Search Send to a friend Home  Diseases, Conditions and Injuries Rickets and Osteomalacia by Rick Alan Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations Definition Rickets (in children) and osteomalacia (in adults) are two forms of a metabolic bone disease resulting from vitamin D deficiency. Both cause softening and weakening of bones because of defective or inadequate bone mineralization. Causes Rickets and osteomalacia result when there is a vitamin D deficiency in the body. This may occur when: The supply of vitamin D from the diet or sun exposure is inadequate. The metabolism of vitamin D is abnormal. Tissues are resistant to the action of vitamin D. Vitamin D regulates calcium absorption in the body. It also controls levels of calcium and phosphate in bone. Vitamin D is absorbed in the intestines from food. Vitamin D is also produced by the skin during exposure to sunlight. Most often, rickets and osteomalacia are caused by a deficiency of vitamin D. This can result from: Insufficient vitamin D in the diet. In children, this may be related to: Insufficient consumption of vitamin D-fortified milk Insufficient intake of vitamin D supplements to children being breast fed or to children who are lactose intolerant Lack of exposure to sunlight.

Diseases Info Skip to navigation Osteomalacia Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention ... Diseased Hip Joint Overview Definition A softening of the bones in adults caused by a failure of the normal calcification (calcium deposits). Causes and Risks There are numerous causes of osteomalacia. In children, the condition is called rickets and is usually caused by a deficiency of vitamin D. Conditions that may result in osteomalacia include inadequate dietary intake of vitamin D, inadequate exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation), which forms vitamin D in the body, and malabsorption of vitamin D by the intestine. Other conditions include hereditary or acquired disorders of vitamin D metabolism, kidney failure and acidosis, phosphate depletion associated with low dietary intake or kidney disease, and side effects of medications used to treat seizures. Risk factors are related to the causes. In the elderly, there is an increased risk for those who tend to remain indoors and who avoid milk because of lactose intolerance. The incidence is 1 in 1000 people.

window.location="http://www.ortho.hyperguides.com/"; Osteomalacia Joseph M. Lane, MD Thomas A. Einhorn, MD Frederick Kaplan, MD Rickets and Osteomalacia Bibliography Rickets and osteomalacia Rickets (youth) and osteomalacia (adult) result from the failure to mineralize epiphyseal cartilage, which increases the hypertrophic zone, and bone, which decreases the mineralization rate and increases unmineralized osteoid. Features of clinical osteomalacia include: localized bone pain and muscle weakness. Radiographic evidence of osteomalacia include: widening of the epiphyseal plate (paint brush); cupping, indistinct zone of provisional calcification; stress fractures (Looser's lines); long leg bowing (genu valgum/genu varum). Laboratory evidence of osteomalacia includes: normal or decreased levels of calcium; decreased phosphorous decreased (increase in renal); increased levels of alkaline phosphatase; decreased 25(OH) and vitamin D; and an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH). Specifically, with vitamin D deficiency and blind loop gastrointestinal syndrome, calcium is normal or decreased; phosphorus is decreased; PTH is increased; 25(OH) is increased; and vitamin D is decreased. In hypophosphatemic disorders, an x-linked dominant proximal tubule defect, calcium is normal; phosphorus is very decreased; PTH is normal; and 25 (OH) is normal. Renal osteodystrophy results in decreased calcium; highly increased phosphorus; very highly elevated PTH; and normal 25 (OH).
