METHODS AND MATERIALS In the older patients (ages 10 to 14 years), the Ilizarov frame was the primary method for correction of the limb length and/or angulation deformity (Table 2). The latter provided both 1) repositioning (after lengthening) of the carpus in patients that had recurrence of radial angulation (palmer-radial) and 2) ulna osteotomy and lengthening, which corrected forearm bowing. Two- or three-ring Ilizarov constructs were used in these two patients. By design, both patients were older with sufficient limb size to accept the Ilizarov system. Smaller frames of light-weight polycarbons are in planning stages, which would extend three-dimensional concepts to younger patients.

Physics 2000 Recalls 1. A bone scan reveals increase uptake in the axial skeleton without activity in the kidneys. This may be seen in: a. aggressive osteoporosis b. hyperthyroidism c. hyperparathyroidism d. metastatic breast cancer D - The hallmark of a superscan due to mets is significantly decreased renal activity with diffusely increased bony activity noted in the axial skeleton. Usually this is due to prostate CA, but breast and lung CA and lymphoma can cause similar appearance. In absence of meets, a suppression involving both axial and appendicular skeleton should raise suspicion of metabolic conditions particularly primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism. Other metabolic conditions include renal osteodystrophy, osteomalacia, and Pagets. Myeloproliferative disease may also cause a superscan. (Mettler, p 293; MGH 861)

MADELUNG'S DISEASE a sight diagnosis Madelung's disease or Benign Symmetric Lipomatosis is a "sight diagnosis." Anyone who has seen it will recognize it immediately while those who haven't probably won't. The case A professional woman in her late 50's came to me for a third opinion regarding a peculiar, progressive and disfiguring deposition of fat around her neck and over her shoulders. Her hips and legs remained normal in appearance as did her face but, gradually over a period of two years, she began to look like she was wearing shoulder pads. She also complained of weakness and on exam she had symmetrical weakness of hip and shoulder girdle muscles with normal peripheral strength. She had a selective loss of vibratory sensation in her feet with preserved ankle reflexes; and difficulty with tandem gait. She gave a history of years "1-2 litres of wine per day." She had enlarged red cells with an MCV (mean corpuscular volume) of 106; mildly elevated liver enzymes and a liver ultrasound showing hyperechoicity consistent with fatty infiltration. An EMG showed mild myopathic findings in the deltoids and the feeling of the needles suggested the hypertrophic tissue was fat, not muscle.

Selected Sources September 25, 1999: A group of French doctors report on five cases of a rare syndrome of cerebral, neurologic, and/or retinal damage in 8 of 2,000 babies born to HIV positive mothers. This large mother-child cohort had received AZT (Retrovir) or AZT/3TC (Epivir) to prevent HIV transmission during pregnancy and delivery. The babies also displayed a variety of other abnormalities in muscle, heart, pancreas, and bone marrow activity. Underlying defects in energy production also were apparent. Two of the babies died after about a year. All were HIV negative.

On October 11, one of the trial participants died due to a striking liver failure syndrome that continued to worsen for a month after he had stopped taking lodenosine. Three similar deaths occurred in the seven weeks after the remaining trial participants were taken off lodenosine. Another nine persons had to be hospitalized for monitoring and treatment. In all, 75 trial participants exhibited some sign of liver damage in blood tests.

Home Forum on Management of Side Effects of HIV Treatment Answers to SideEffects Questions by Category > Miscellaneous Side Effects Questions Category > Question: lipomatosis JB Posted: Dec 19, 2000 I don't have aids, but I have lipomatosis. Do you have any information about this disease? I know people with aids get Madelungs from the aids treatments. I belong to an e-group message board that about 64 people are registered and we all have lipomas, but not aids. Is liposuction a proper surgery to remove this type of tumor, since the tumor will regrow. Thanks you, Unfortunately I cannot offer you much expertise or advice in this area. It is my understanding that Madelung's disease may be hereditary and is related to abnormalities in the metabolism of mitochondria. Liposuction has not been helpful for persons with HIV infection who develop lipomatosis. John A.

The following tools are presently available: Expanded search *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Enchondromatosis, multiple, (also called Ollier's disease), multiple enchondromas, i.e. disorganized cartilaginous foci within the bones which causes bony swellings of the affected bones. In the long bones, streaky linear depositions of cartilage within the metaphysis may also occur. The disease often dominantly affects one side of the body. On other occasions it may affect the hands or feet, or be generalized. It is not an inherited disease. Clinically, there are bony swellings, limb shortening and mechanical difficulties, associated with joint disruption and short stature, which may be asymmetrical. The condition usually presents between 2 and 10 years of age. There may be focal restriction of growth at the site of a lesion which may result in limb shortening, Madelung's deformity or kyphosis. The characteristic radiological appearances are columnar radiolucencies extending from the metaphyses into the shafts of tubular bones; there may be associated stippled calcification (

The deformation may be plastic or elastic and result from various forces (longitudinal, shear, compressive). With increased stress a bowing fracture may occur. Bowing occurs in numerous congenital conditions, including osteochondrodysplasias (Table 1). Bowing, of bone, Table 1. Some conditions associated with bowing Chondrodysplasia punctata , tibia-metacarpal type Metaphyseal dysplasia Dyschondrosteosis Langer type mesomelic dysplasia Acromesomelic dysplasia Melnick Needles syndrome Camptomelic dysplasia Fibular aplasia and hypoplasia Congenital pseudarthrosis Madelungs deformity McKusick type metaphyseal dysplasia Pseudohypoparathyroidism ... Weismann Netter Stuhl syndrome Congenital bowing of the extremities and osteogenesis imperfecta are usually associated with severe micromelia, and prognosis for affected infants is poor. The bowing of the long bones exacerbates the limb – trunk discrepancy in these patients.
