Condensing osteitis of the clavicle: case report and review of the literature.

Osteitis condensans of the clavicle is a rare condition characterized by pain in the shoulder and often limitation of motion of the shoulder. The medical history and results of the physical examination, laboratory data, and radiographic studies (including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging), often establish the diagnosis. Patients who have slight or no pain usually require no treatment. Varying results have been reported for many different methods of treatment, including surgical excision, chemotherapy, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, radiation, local corticosteroid injection, and physical therapy. A typical case report and the differential diagnosis for condensing osteitis of the clavicle are presented.

Soft tissue involvement, mediastinal pseudotumor, and venous thrombosis in pustulotic arthro-osteitis. A study of eight new cases.

A syndrome of hyperostosis of the thoracic wall, nonspecific signs of inflammatory disease, and palmar and plantar pustulosis is described in eight patients (Table 1). Seven had intersternocostoclavicular ossification, and one had chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. This complex of findings has been called "pustulotic arthro-osteitis". This report emphasizes the periosseous soft tissue inflammation and the unexplained subclavian and mediastinal vein thrombosis seen in two patients. Inflammatory periosseous and mediastinal lesions were seen on plain films in all eight patients and on computed tomographic (CT) scans in seven. Radiographs of the spine showed a spondyloarthropathy in three patients. This was characterized by ossification of the vertebral ligaments and sclerosis of the vertebral bodies. Awareness of the radiologic features of pustulotic arthro-osteitis is important because the clinical, biochemical and pathologic findings are often nonspecific and misleading.

Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome in childhood: a report of ten cases and review of the literature.

UNLABELLED: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal process observed in children and young adults. Recently, the acronym SAPHO syndrome (for synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis) was coined to emphasise the association between osteo-articular inflammations and different skin abnormalities which are aseptic and filled with neutrophils. In adults, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is now a classical manifestation of SAPHO syndrome. Chronic skin disorders were seen in eight of ten children on follow-up at the University Children's Hospitals in Bern and Zurich and in 61 of 260 paediatric cases reported in the literature. The different skin lesions were palmoplantar pustulosis (n = 40), non-palmoplantar pustulosis (n = 6), psoriasis vulgaris (n = 16) or severe acne (n = 4). More rarely Sweet syndrome (n = 2) or pyoderma gangrenosum (n = 1) were reported. CONCLUSION: The synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis syndrome is pertinent even in paediatrics since skin involvement is frequent.

Predisposing and operative factors: effect on the incidence of localized osteitis in mandibular third-molar surgery.

Five hundred and four bilateral mandibular third-molar extraction sites were examined postoperatively for localized osteitis. All sites received a mechanical lavage of either 350 ml, or 175 ml. of sterile normal saline solution. No significant differences were observed relative to the effect of lavage volume on the incidence of iocalized osteitis. A preoperative antimicrobial mouthrinse of chloramine-T (sodium-p-toluene sulfonchloramide) was also used by one half of the patients. Although only slight differences were noted in healing with the different lavage volumes of the chloramine-T, certain predisposing factors contributed significant differences.

Evaluation of 0.12% chlorhexidine rinse on the prevention of alveolar osteitis.

A double-blind study evaluated the ability of 0.12% chlorhexidine rinse to decrease the incidence of localized alveolar osteitis after the removal of mandibular third molar teeth. One hundred sixty extraction sites in 80 patients were evaluated. A statistically significant decrease in the incidence of dry socket was seen in patients using the chlorhexidine rinse with no significant adverse reactions. Thus a 0.12% chlorhexidine rinse is shown to be an effective means of decreasing alveolar osteitis that may follow removal of third molar teeth.

Tuberculous osteitis of the talus.

A case of tuberculous osteitis of the talus in a 6-year-old white male is reported. Osteitis of the talus is uncommon and tuberculous disease of this bone is now rare. There was a delay of 5 weeks between presentation and final diagnosis and the reasons for this delay are discussed. Further investigation showed the presence of tuberculosis of the fifth lumbar vertebra and of the left kidney. With prompt chemotherapy and early surgery, the long term results of this once crippling disease are now excellent.

The relationship between the indications for the surgical removal of impacted third molars and the incidence of alveolar osteitis.

Six hundred forty-two impacted third molars were surgically removed in 412 patients. Before surgery, each patient was assessed clinically and radiographically, and the reason for the removal of each tooth was specifically recorded. One hundred eighty-two of the impacted teeth were removed for prophylactic reasons and 460 for therapeutic reasons. As much as possible, standardization of the operating procedure and environment, and of the preoperative and postoperative regimens was observed. After surgery, each case was followed to determine the absence or presence of signs and symptoms of alveolar osteitis. It was found that several factors seem to contribute to the development of alveolar osteitis; however, the most significant related finding was that the reason for the extraction, that is, whether the extraction was undertaken for therapeutic or prophylactic reasons.

Effects of gender-related factors on the incidence of localized alveolar osteitis.

Numerous literature references have suggested increased risk for localized alveolar osteitis associated with female gender, use of oral contraceptives, and point in menstrual/contraceptive cycle. However, the available information has not been systematically considered with the intent to accurately estimate the magnitude of these effects. The present review suggests that under certain conditions, some of which may be avoidable, females may have at least a two to threefold increase in osteitis risk compared with males. It appears that this greater risk may be reduced by considering hormonal cycles when scheduling elective exodontia.

Contemporary views on dry socket (alveolar osteitis): a clinical appraisal of standardization, aetiopathogenesis and management: a critical review.

The objective of this article is to harmonize descriptive definitions for the condition known as alveolar osteitis and to critically review and discuss the aetiology and pathogenesis of alveolar osteitis. In addition, the need for the identification and elimination of risk factors as well as the preventive and symptomatic management of the condition are discussed. The aim of this critical review is to provide a better basis for clinical management of the condition. A meta-analysis of data was not done.

Is osteitis pubis associated with the use of bone anchors in urinary continence operations?

We studied 130 patients who underwent either a vaginal needle suspension procedure or a pubofascial sling procedure with Mitek titanium bone anchors to determine the association of osteitis pubis with bone anchoring in these procedures. Fifteen patients complained of postoperative suprapubic pain; five cases were due to wound infections and another five were associated with tying the suspension sutures too tightly. We suggest the use of the term 'periostitis pubis' to describe the remaining five patients who suffered suprapubic pain. We found no radiological evidence of osteitis pubis in any patients.

Arthro-osteitis--a clinical spectrum.

Arthro-osteitis is an uncommon condition which can be associated with palmoplantar pustulosis. It forms part of a group of conditions which include the synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis syndrome (SAPHO) and sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis. We report four cases illustrating the clinical spectrum of this condition which occurred in the absence of concomitant skin lesions. One patient had extensive aortic calcification a feature not previously reported in this condition, which may represent a low grade inflammatory aortitis.

Art, history, and rheumatism: the case of Erasmus of Rotterdam 1466-1536 suffering from pustulotic arthro-osteitis.

Pustulotic arthro-osteitis probably associated with retroperitoneal fibrosis has been diagnosed in Erasmus of Rotterdam, based on paintings of Quentin Massys (1517) and Hans Holbein the younger (1523), historical letters of Erasmus, and postmortem examination of the skeleton. This case report is a description of the earliest known case of pustulotic arthro-osteitis, a syndrome reported for the first time in 1967 and seen more commonly in Japan than in Europe. Works of art of many different kinds may provide an important source of evidence of disease and contribute to a better understanding of the natural history of a disease.

[Antibiotic-containing collagen sponge in therapy of osteitis].

In 1988, we treated 47 patients with acute or chronic osteitis by means of a new industrial collagenous sponge containing gentamicin (Sulmycin Implant) as an adjuvant measure. The local surgical management was standard: total excision of all avascular or infected soft tissue and bone, stabilization of pseudarthrosis, the improvement of local circulation and the condition of the soft tissue by means of local or free flaps before autologous bone grafting and antibiotics administered according to the test results. In cases of instability AO external fixation was used. One or two Sulmycin Implants (10 x 10 cm) containing 130 or 260 mg gentamicin were placed in the remaining small cavities or in the transplanted autologous spongy bone. Gentamicin was measured in the wound exsudate for 3-5 days; during this time we found bactericidal concentration in these exsudates. The wounds healed in 44 patients, but we had a persistent fistula in 3 patients (6.3%). We see collagen-gentamicin sponges as being very useful in the treatment of osteitis. It seems to reduce delayed bone transplantation in infected areas.

[BCG osteitis in Switzerland. A report of 6 cases].

BCG osteitis is a rare complication after vaccination in the newborn. On the basis of various, not yet fully known mechanisms, an increase in the number of cases is nevertheless possible. In the period 1980-1985 the authors recorded 6 instances of BCG osteitis. The clinical findings and diagnostic criteria are described. The incidence, pathogenesis and therapy of the disease are discussed.

Case management of the anemic patient: epoetin alfa--focus on osteitis fibrosa.

Most patients with anemia caused by end-stage renal disease respond well to Epoetin alfa therapy, but in a small number the hematocrit fails to rise as expected. A potential cause of suboptimal response is osteitis fibrosa. Understanding the pathophysiology, manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment for osteitis fibrosa helps nurses to identify this condition as a cause of resistance to Epoetin alfa and to manage patients appropriately.

Pustulotic arthro-osteitis associated with acetabular cartilage lesion in pustulotic arthropathy--implication of bone marrow.

We describe a case of pustulotic arthro-osteitis with hip joint involvement. After right hip joint and walking did not improve despite drugs and physical therapy, total hip replacement was performed. During surgery, brownish degenerated tissue was detected on the surface of the acetabular side. Pathohistological examination revealed that granulation tissue caused by suppurative inflammation of the bone marrow had broken through the cartilage surface, reaching the superficial layer. Our findings suggest that hip joint lesions in pustulotic arthro-osteitis may originate from bone marrow lesions.
