    ansawer is Pyknodysostosis . this is adiagnoses of exclusion. though pyknodysostosis commonly presents with repeated fractures following trivial trauma but cases reported in india didnt present with history of multiple fractures .generaly it presents with short stature ,generalized hypersostosis , hypoplastic distal phalanges , obtuse mandibular margin etc

    The combination of recurrent fractures and Osteosclerosis point towards a diagnosis of Ostepetrosis and Pyknodysostosis. Since Osteopetrosis is not there among the choices, the correct answer is Pyknodysostosis

    The radiographic image resembles that of a patient of osteopetrosis, however not listed as an option here.

    Xray of BB forearm with wrist and elbow joints AP and lateral of pt. With immature skeleton showing uniting fracture of middle third ulna with dense sclerosis of bones with v narrowed medullary canals and loss of cortico medullary differentiation. increased cortical thickness due to sclerosis. Condition most probably is pyknodysostosis.

    Plain xray AP/ lateral view left forearm in skeletally immature patient suggestive of loss of corticomedullary differentiation in both bone forearm with fracture midshaft ulna with hypertrophic fracture ends without any bridging callus formation- fracture line well distinguished
    My most probable diagnosis is fracture midshaft ulna left forearm with delayed union/ hypertrophic non union most probable cause being osteopetrosis/ marble bone disease

    Answer complete undisplaced fracture of ulna with dorsal angulation…as there is history of multiple recurrent frcture so it can be d/t pyknodysostosis (by ruling out other options)

    1. Plain x-ray forearm AP and Lat. View with wrist and elbow joint of a skeletally immature patient .
    2. There is diffuse osteosclerosis , medullary canal is absent , thick cortex and a transverse fracture line seen in ulna mid shaft which shows signs of union .
    3. Most probably a case of Osteopetrosis
    D/D- skeletal flurosis

    Xray right forearm AP/lateral view of a skeletally immature patient showing an undisplaced ulna fracture with osteosclerosis with bridging callus on lateral aspect
    D/D osteoporosis > pyknodysostosis

    •Its plain X ray of
    left forearm with wrist & elbow joint AP & lateral view
    •Skeletally immature patient shows

    • Generalized sclerosis of bone i.e chacky white in appearance

    • loss of cortico- medullary differentiation in bone radius & ulna

    • Complete undisplaced fracture of middle 3rd part of ulna bone

    • contour of bone is maintained with no increase in soft tissue density

    most problably mine radiological diagnosis is

    – Pyknodiastosis ( d/t generalized osteosclerosis

    D/D is

    – metabolic disorder of bone
    Osteopetrosis ( marble bone diseases)

    Hypertrophy non Union or delayed union of fracture
    With underground metabolic disease causing diffuse sclerosis

    This is a straight X-ray , showing AP and LatEral view of the lower end of humerus , radius and ulna , carpal bones , metacarpal bones and partly the proximal end of phalanges in a skeletaly immature person with a transverse fracture in mid shaft ulna without any displacement .

    From the options – pyknodysostosis

  19. Ashish Chopra says

    at

    It’s pyknodysostosis as suggested by diffuse sclerosis in radius & ulna ( long bones) & history of multiple fractures ( fractures occur in this condition with trivial trauma). Widespread sclerosis with maintenance of tabeculae as seen in metacarpals & carpal bones further confirm it .

  20. Dr Prabhat dubey says

    Three differential for given x rays

    i.e diffuse osteosclerotic lesion seen in children

    1) pyknodiastosis
    2) osteopetrosis
    3) flourine toxicity

    As
    pyknodiastosis AD disorder seen in children showing generalized osteosclerosis with pathologic # of long bone

    For osteopetrosis
    it also a AR in children .. show failure of function of osteoclast leading to
    •generalized dense bone
    • wideneing of metaphysis
    •sandwich appearance vertebral bodies

    Lastly fluorine toxicity
    seen in all age groups
    mainly exposed patient d/t drugs
    show generalized osteosclerosis mainly in spine / pelvis
    granular pattern
    fragile bone prone for #

    Xray forearm AP and lateral of skeletally immature patient with sclerosis of metaphysis and diaphysis. Minimally displaced fracture shaft of ulna.

    Osteopetrosis
    Its a bone disease that makes bones abnormally dense and prone to breakage (fracture). Researchers have described several major types of osteopetrosis, which are usually distinguished by their pattern of inheritance: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked.
