RICKETS AND OSTEOMALACIA
• Inadequate bone
mineralization.
• Excessive
unmineralized
osteoid.
• Osteomalacia adult
version of rickets.
• In rickets epiphyseal
involvement.
Different expression of
same disease
Pathophysiology
• Deficiency of vit-D
• Hypocalcemia
• PTH secretion
• Plasma Ca
• Plasma P
• Bone resorption
• Bone formation for
compensation, lack of
Ca&P
• Rickets/osteomalacia
Epiphyseal Plate Abnormalities
• Resting & proliferative
zone not affected.
• zone of maturation:
irregularly distributed
cells.
• hypertrophic cells are
irregularly distributed
and the intervening
matrix bars cannot be
identified.
Cont..
NORMAL RICKETS
• honey comb
pattern vascular
growth distorted.
• Increase cartilage
cells and
unmineralized
matrix increase
length& width of
bones.
• Joint weight
produce “cupping”
Cont..

apathic, irritable,
hypotonia, muscular
weakness etc.

hyperparathyroidism(
subperiosteal resorption of
bone, brown tumour)
Biochemistry

Treatment
• Vitamin –D deficiency rickets:
• Correction of cause of vitamin D deficiency:
adequate dietary supply, sun light exposer.
• 15000μg or 600,000 IU Vit D3 orally or IM
with calcium supplement.
• If healing occurs continue with 400 IU-1000
IU of Vit D3/day however elderly people
require 2000 IU/day vitamin D3.
• In Intestinal malabsorption: 50,000-100,000
IU vit D3/day with calcium supplements.
Renal tubular rickets & osteomalacia
• 3 pathophysiological mechanisms:
1. increase clearance of PO4 by the PCT
(hypophosphatemic rickets).
2. A failure in the production of H⁺ and its
substitution for fixed base in the DCT, (renal
tubular acidosis).
3. A failure in the conversion of 25-hydroxy
vitamin D to1, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D.
4. Combined lesion of both tubules which causes
the Fanconi group of rickets and osteomalacia.
Proximal tubular ricketic and
osteomalacic syndromes:
1.VDRR/hypophosphatemic rickets
or phosphate diabetes.
• +ve family history, X-linked
dominant.
• bony deformities present.
• Markedly reduced PO4, normal
serum calcium, No secondary
hyperparathyroidism, No Myopathy.
• Oral Neutral phosphate 1-4 gm/day
• Calcitriol (1, 25-DHCC) 2-
5µgm/kg/day)
2.VDRR with Glycosuria
• less common than classic VDRR.
• abnormal resorptive mechanism for both
inorganic phosphate and glucose.
• Serum phosphate less, glycosuria.
• No evidence for genetic transmission.
• Diabetes not necessary to present.
• Vit-D= 0.5-1.5 mg/day(20,000-60,000 IU/day).
• Ca = 1gm/day
• Neutral Phosphates = 1.5 – 6 mg/day.
3. Proximal Fanconi Syndrome
• defective reabsorption of phosphate, glucose,
and many amino acids.
• Autosomal recessive transmission.
• more florid, severe rachitic lesions and
pathological fractures.
• Later develop ch. Liver disease.
• Low serum po4, normal serum amino acid,
aminoaciduria.
• Vit-D=0.6 – 1mg/day(25,000-40,000 IU/day).
• Ca = 1gm/day and neutral phosphate=1-3g/d.
4.Late onset VDRR/Hypophosphatemia.
• Normal in childhood, occurs early adulthood.
• Rare but one cause of unexplained bone loss,
joint pain in adults.
• No genetic error found.
• PTH responsible for phosphate leak rather
than tubular defect.
• Dramatic respond to vit-D(0.5-1.5 mg/day),
Ca(1gm/day), neutral phosphate(1-
3mg/day).
Proximal and Distal Renal Tubular
Rachitic and Osteomalacic Syndromes:
• Defective reabsorption in both PCT &
DCT.
• impaired reabsorption of water, fixed
base, protein, and bicarbonate.
• Results in acidosis, dehydration,
hyperproteinemia
• Four syndromes have been identified
in this group:
1. proximal and distal Fanconi syndrome
(Debre De Toni Fanconi syndrome)
• Autosomal recessive transmission.
• Genetic swan neck deformity of renal tubule.
• Very severe hypophosphatemic ricket.
• Multiple # in few months of life.
• serum Ca, P, Na&K, Alk. Phos. Academia.
• Urine Pᴴ alkaline, glycosuria, amino aciduria.
• Vit-D=0.6 – 1mg/day(25,000-40,000 IU/day).
• Ca = 1gm/day and neutral phosphate=1-3g/d.
• Alkalizing solution, k- supplement.
2. Lignac-Fanconi syndrome
• cystinosis, cystine storage disease.
• Cystine deposited through out the soft tissue.
• Autosomal recessive transmission.
• serum Ca, P, Na&K, Alk. Phos. Academia.
• Urine Pᴴ alkaline, glycosuria, amino aciduria.
• Vit-D=0.6 – 1mg/day(25,000-40,000 IU/day).
• Ca = 1gm/day and neutral phosphate=1-3g/d.
• Alkalizing solution, k- supplement.
Renal Osteodystrophy:
• includes rickets or Osteomalacia, osteitis fibrosa
cystica, osteoporosis, osteosclerosis, and
metastatic calcification.
• Pathophysiology:
1. interferes with the conversion of 25-OH vitamin-
D to 1 ,25-dihydroxy vitamin-D.
2. Increase PTH secretion.
3. Hypocalcemia, hypocalciuric,
hyperphosphatemia.
4. Metastatic calcifications( arteries, cornea,).
Clinical features
• Growth impairment.
• Classic sign of rickets present.
• Ricketic rosary, Harrisons sulcus >
Craniotabes, Frontal bossing.

tumors)

• Ca=1-3 gm/ day
• Cinacalcet, a calcium mimetic drug.
• Parathyroidectomy.
• Dialysis.
• Renal transplant.
Unusual Forms of Rickets and
Osteomalacia:

Benign Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors:
• hyposphatemic VDR Osteomalacia.
• Hemangioma of bone, giant-cell tumor,
reparative giant-cell granuloma, NOF,
Cavernous Hemangioma of the thigh, and
“ossifying mesenchymal tumor "of the
larynx.
• Tertiary hyperparathyroidism.
• Ectopic vit-D antagonist secretion.
Rickets and Osteomalacia Associated
with Anticonvulsant Therapy:
• 15% epileptic patient with long term anti epileptic
drugs( hydantoin, Phenobarbital).
• stimulation of hepatic microsomal P-450
enzymatic activity.
• An important syndrome to produce iatrogenic
cycle.
• usually responds well to vitamin D.
Vitamin-D dependent rickets and
osteomalacia
Type-I(pseudo vit-D deficient) Type-2 vit-D dependent
•Autosomal recessive
•Deficiency of 1ᾳ
hydroxylase.
•Severe ricketic syndrome.
•Secondary
hyperparathyroidism.
•Multiple #, Myopathy.
•Life time treatment with
1-OH vit-D.
•Autosomal recessive.
•Defect in vit-D receptors
in target cells.
•Adults and children
affected.
•Not responds to vit-D.
•Parenteral calcium is
needed.
Orthopaedic Measures:
• Needed in established long bone
deformity.
• Surgery should be done after correction
of metabolic disorder.
• Very early stage different braces are used
accompanying systemic treatment.
• Surgery for deformity correction, may
need multiple surgery.
Different braces
Corrective osteotomy
Surgery for other pathological
fracture
