To assess age related manifestations of the femur and tibia in patients with vitamin D-resistant rickets (VDR) and explore causes for recurrent deformity using imaging modalities.
Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dual energy X-ray densitometry (DEXA) were used to assess conditions of long bones of lower limbs in patients with vitamin D-resistant rickets aged from 4 years to 30 years preoperatively and after limb lengthening.
Age related MRI findings showed specific structure of the femur and tibia in patients with VDR preoperatively and after operative treatment. Abundant irregular osteoid formed in femoral and tibial physes was shown to reveal complicated nature of bone deformity causing recurrence in patients with VDR at childhood. CT findings allowed us to detect early cortical injury, measure its length with forming Looser's zones, examine significant differences in density measurements of Looser's zones preoperatively and after deformity correction using transosseous osteosynthesis.
Recurrent deformity can develop in patients with VDR due to progression of the disease, irregular osteoid deposited in the medial and lateral metaepiphysis, osteoid area measuring over 50% of epiphyseal cross section, insufficient regenerate mineralization, and formation of Looser's zones.
评估维生素D抵抗性佝偻病(VDR)患者股骨和胫骨的年龄相关表现,并使用影像学方法探讨畸形复发的原因。
采用计算机断层扫描(CT)、磁共振成像(MRI)和双能X线骨密度仪(DEXA)对4至30岁维生素D抵抗性佝偻病患者术前及肢体延长术后下肢长骨情况进行评估。
年龄相关的MRI表现显示了VDR患者术前及手术治疗后股骨和胫骨的特定结构。股骨和胫骨骨骺中形成的大量不规则类骨质表明儿童期VDR患者骨畸形复发的复杂性。CT表现使我们能够检测早期皮质损伤,测量其长度并形成假骨折线,检查术前及使用经骨内固定矫正畸形后假骨折线密度测量的显著差异。
VDR患者可因疾病进展、内外侧干骺端沉积不规则类骨质、类骨质面积超过骨骺横截面的50%、再生矿化不足以及假骨折线的形成而出现畸形复发。
