Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sports activity can cause elbow osteoarthritis, which subsequently induces bone deformity. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum develops defects of articular surfaces and can exacerbate bone deformity. This study aimed to investigate whether OCD exacerbates deformities in sports-related elbow osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients who underwent bilateral computed tomography preoperatively followed by surgery for sports-related elbow osteoarthritis were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of an OCD history: OCD + (n = 6) and OCD- (n = 15). Bilateral three-dimensional bone models of the humerus, ulna, and radius were created using computed tomography data, and bone deformities were extracted by subtracting healthy mirror models from the affected models using a Boolean operation. Bone deformities were divided into 22 regions in the 3 bones. The volume of the deformity was estimated by correlating the anteroposterior and lateral diameters of the OCD and by comparing the two groups. RESULTS The anteroposterior diameter of the OCD correlated with the articular surface of the medial trochlear notch, whereas the lateral diameter correlated with the whole ulna, medial gutter of the ulna, whole radius, and lateral side of the radial head. The deformities were 2.2 times larger in the whole humerus, 1.9 times larger in the whole ulna, and 3.0 times larger in the whole radius in the OCD + group than in the OCD- group. The deformities were significantly larger in the OCD + group than in the OCD- group in the radial fossa, posterior capitellum, medial gutter, and lateral gutter in the humerus, medial gutter in the ulna, and lateral, anterior, and posterior sides of the radial head. CONCLUSION Larger OCD exacerbated deformity in elbow OA, and the presence of OCD exacerbated deformities in sports-related elbow OA. These results demonstrate the highlight of preventing OCD progression.

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II, OMIM 309900) is an X-linked disorder caused by a deficiency of lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS). The clinical manifestations of MPS II involve cognitive decline, bone deformity, and visceral disorders. These manifestations are closely associated with IDS enzyme activity, which catalyzes the stepwise degradation of heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate. In this study, we established a novel Ids-deficient mice and further assessed the enzyme's physiological role. Using DNA sequencing, we found a genomic modification of the Ids genome, which involved the deletion of a 138-bp fragment spanning from intron 2 to exon 3, along with the insertion of an adenine at the 5' end of exon 3 in the mutated allele. Consistent with previous data, our Ids-deficient mice showed an attenuated enzyme activity and an enhanced accumulation of glycosaminoglycans. Interestingly, we noticed a distinct enlargement of the calvarial bone in both neonatal and young adult mice. Our examination revealed that Ids deficiency led to an enhanced osteoblastogenesis in the parietal bone, a posterior part of the calvarial bone originating from the paraxial mesoderm and associated with an enhanced expression of osteoblastic makers, such as Col1a and Runx2. In sharp contrast, cell proliferation of the parietal bone in these mice appeared similar to that of wild-type controls. These results suggest that the deficiency of Ids could be involved in an augmented differentiation of calvarial bone, which is often noticed as an enlarged head circumference in MPS II-affected individuals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients who have hereditary multiple osteochondroma (HMO), progressive deformity of the forearm skeleton may lead to radial head dislocation. The latter is permanent, painful and causes weakness. HYPOTHESIS There is a relationship between the amount of ulnar deformity and the presence of radial head dislocation in patients with HMO. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional radiographic study comprising an analysis of anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral x-rays of 110 forearms in children having a mean age of 8 years and 4 months who were followed for HMO between 1961 and 2014. Four factors reflecting on the ulnar deformity in the coronal plane were investigated on the AP view and three factors in the sagittal plane were investigated on the lateral view to identify any relationship between ulnar deformity and radial head dislocation. The forearms were separated into two groups: with radial head dislocation (26 cases) and without radial head dislocation (84 cases). RESULTS Ulnar bowing, intramedullary angle of ulnar bowing, tangent ulnar angle and overall ulnar angle were significantly higher in the group of children who had a radial head dislocation (0.05 vs 0.03, p<.001; 161 vs 167, p<001; 156 vs 162, p<001; 50 vs 30, p<.001) in univariate and multivariate analyses. DISCUSSION Ulnar deformity, evaluated using the method described here, is more often associated with radial head dislocation than other previously published radiological parameters. This provides new insight on this phenomenon and may help to determine which factors are associated with radial head dislocation and how to prevent it. CONCLUSION Ulnar bowing in the context of HMO, especially when evaluated on AP radiographs, is significantly associated with radial head dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; case-control study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate pathological lesions suggesting the presence of rickets and to place the diagnosis into bioarchaeological and historical context. MATERIALS The remains of a 3-year ± 12-month-old child discovered during a rescue excavation in Heuvelton, New York. METHODS We examined the individual macroscopically and conducted a differential diagnosis following established protocols in the palaeopathological literature. RESULTS Bony change on the orbits, mandible, ribs, clavicles, left scapula, humerii, radii, ulnae, femora, tibiae, fibulae (e.g., porosity, diaphyseal thickening, flaring, bowing), and dental lesions were recorded. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that the child likely presented with vitamin D deficiency rickets during crawling and as they learned to walk. SIGNIFICANCE This example offers an important contribution to the bioarchaeological literature, as few cases of rickets have been recorded in rural North America using updated diagnostic criteria and little is known of the health and lifeways of early settlers in 19th-century upstate New York. LIMITATIONS It is not possible to ascertain the precise aetiology of this child's rachitic state and to compare this individual with others in the population. SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH Examination (and re-assessment) of other North and South American skeletal assemblages for signs of vitamin D deficiency rickets following current bioarchaeological standards.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited, noninflammatory musculoskeletal disorder caused by mutations occurring in the WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 3 gene. Joint cartilage is the primary site of involvement, leading to arthralgia, joint stiffness, contractures, enlargement of the epiphyses and metaphysis of the hand joints, spinal abnormalities, short stature, early osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood and has unknown etiology. Clinical features of progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia resemble those of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Patients with progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia are usually misdiagnosed as having juvenile idiopathic arthritis. CASE PRESENTATION A 13-year-old Yemeni female presented to the rheumatology clinic with a history of joint pains, bone pains, and bone deformity for 7 years. Weight and height were below the third percentiles. There was no tender swelling of metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints, and she presented with scoliosis. Radiographs of the hands revealed the widening of the epiphyses. Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia was suspected, and genetic testing for WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 1, 2, and 3 was requested with these findings. A homozygous, likely pathogenic variant was identified in the WNT1-inducible signaling pathway protein 3 gene, which confirmed our diagnosis. CONCLUSION Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia is a rare form of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia and is clinically misdiagnosed as juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is crucial to consider progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia, especially in patients with standard inflammatory markers who are being followed up for juvenile idiopathic arthritis and not improving with antirheumatic intervention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We describe patient-specific surgical guide prototyping and surgical treatment of a complex antebrachial deformity in two skeletally mature dogs presented with chronic lameness. Computer-assisted surgery was elected to increase accuracy in the correction of the complex deformity. Radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a biplane deformity with valgus, procurvatum and external torsion of the right radius in both cases. The pre-surgical planning started from the quantification of the angular deformity, followed by computer simulated correction and to end up with a rehearsal surgery on 3D printed bone models. During the surgery, the custom-made osteotomy guides closely fitted the bone, allowing for a precise corrective osteotomy, that was stabilized with two locking plates. Postoperative radiographs showed the successful correction of the deformity. Eight and 12 weeks postoperative follow up examinations showed improved lameness, weight-bearing and progression of bone healing in both dogs. Patient-specific surgical guides allowed for a satisfactory correction of the antebrachial deformity. Additional benefits of using customized surgical devices include standardization and reduced surgical time.

Abstract
Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are low-energy femoral fractures with characteristic radiological features and a suspected relation to treatment with bisphosphonate (BP) or denosumab. In osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), BP is currently the drug of choice when medical treatment is indicated. Due to bone deformities, the radiologic appearance of femoral fractures may be different in patients with OI and patients with osteoporosis. We investigated the prevalence and appearance of femoral fractures in a cohort of adult patients with confirmed OI (55 patients, age range 19-69 years, 26 women (47%) and 35 patients (64%) had received BP treatment), who attended the outpatient clinic at Aarhus University Hospital. The fractures were evaluated according to major and minor AFF criteria. In our OI cohort, we found that eight out of 55 patients had suffered a femoral fracture in adult year: five women and three men, aged 25 to 54 years. One patient had OI type I, two had OI type III, four had OI type IV, and one had OI type V. All fractures were associated with no or minimal trauma. Four patients had fractures that fulfilled the criteria of AFFs. Two of the four patients had received long-term BP treatment prior to the fracture and three patients had severe deformities of the femur. Femoral fractures in OI imitate AFFs. This suggests that bone deformity, collagen deficiencies, and alterations in mineralization of bone may cause femoral fractures that imitate AFFs even in the absence of antiresorptive treatment. Bone deformities should be monitored as part of the management of adult patients with OI. Continuous dull or aching pain in the groin or thigh should lead to radiographic examination. The radiologic appearance of femoral fractures may be different in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and patients with osteoporosis, thus imitate atypical femoral fractures (AFF). We found that bone deformity, collagen deficiencies, and alterations in bone mineralization may cause femoral fractures that imitate AFFs even in the absence of antiresorptive treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a tumour suppressor syndrome and also a bone disease. In the craniofacial region, local skeletal deformities have been recorded in patients with NF1. Obvious syndrome-related alterations of the jaws are particularly conspicuous in the mandible. Here we aimed to analyse the mandibular alterations of NF1-affected individuals from orthopantomograms (OPGs). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study analyses 358 OPGs of 358 patients (mean age, 34.63 years; range, 12.57-69.13 years). The OPGs of 179 patients of Caucasian origin with NF1 were investigated (mean age, 34.84 years; range, 12.83-68.89 years; 44.13% male, 55.86% female). The radiographic findings were compared to those obtained from OPGs of sex- and age-matched controls. RESULTS Characteristic deformations of the bone regions of interest occur in NF1 patients, especially in patients with plexiform neurofibroma of trigeminal nerve. These findings are always one-sided. The co-occurrence of several skeletal deformations can be expected with very high probability in this patient group. CONCLUSION The radiological sign of the unilateral deformed mandible should be included in the diagnostic criteria for NF1. In addition to the diagnostic value in this syndrome, these findings are important for avoiding surgical complications in planned interventions in this region.

Abstract
Background Ollier’s disease is a non-hereditary, benign bone tumor which is usually characterized by presence of multiple radiolucent lesions (enchondromas) in the metaphysis of long bones with unilateral predominance. The disease is a rare clinical entity with 1/100000 occurrence in early childhood. Patients mostly present with multiple hard swellings and deformity of the tubular bones specially hands and feet with leg discrepancy and pathologic fractures. Case presentation We present two cases of Ollier’s disease in a 13 years old female and 8 years old boy which had no specific symptoms. The girl had multiple hard swellings and deformity in the fingers of both hands and left toes with left leg deformity and discrepancy. Her plain radiographs demonstrated multiple expansile enchondromas in the phalanges of hands, left toes and metaphyses of upper humeri as well as left leg bones. The enchondromas were also noted in the left iliac bone and anterior end of ribs. The boy had bowing deformity and shortage of left leg with multiple enchondromas in the metaphyses of left femur, left tibia and fibula as well as left iliac bone in his radiographic images. Conclusion Ollier’s disease is usually diagnosed by clinical signs and typical location of enchondromas across skeleton in conventional radiography. It usually does not need specific treatment. Well understanding of the clinical manifestation and radiographic features can prevent unnecessary application of other imaging modalities; while other diagnostic imaging modalities like MRI, ultrasound and scintigraphy can be used in complicated and painful conditions.

Abstract
The mechanical features of and biologic response to using distraction osteogenesis with the circular external fixator are the unique aspects of Ilizarov’s contribution that allows deformity correction and reconstruction of bone defects. We present a retrospective study of 20 patients who suffered from a variety of benign tumours for which external fixators (EF) were used to treat deformity, bone loss, and limb-length discrepancy. A total of 26 bony segments in twenty patients (10 males, 10 females; mean age 17 years; range 7–58 years) were treated with EF for residual problems from the tumour itself (primary treatment) in 8 patients and for complications related to the primary surgery (secondary treatment) in 12 patients. Histological diagnoses were Ollier’s disease (n = 4), Fibrous Dysplasia (n = 5), Congenital multiple exostosis (n = 5), giant cell tumour (n = 2) and one case for chondromyxoid fibroma, desmoid fibroma, chondroma and unicameral bone cyst. Various types of external fixators used to treat these problems. These were Ilizarov, unilateral fixator, multiaxial correction frame (Biomet, Parsippany, NJ), Taylor spatial frame (Memphis, TN) and smart correction multiaxial frame. The mean follow-up time was 69.5 months (range 35–108 months). The mean external fixation time was 159.5 days (range 27–300 days). The mean external fixation index was 67.4 days/cm (12–610) in 26 limbs who underwent distraction osteogenesis. The mean length of distraction was 4.9 cm (range 0.2–14 cm). At final follow-up, all patients had returned to normal activities. Complications were in the form of knee arthrodesis in one patient, pin tract infection in six and residual shortening in eight patients. The use of EF and the principles of distraction osteogenesis, in the management of problems associated with benign bone tumours and related surgery yields successful results especially in young patients. With this approach, the risk for recurrence of shortening and deformity may be minimized with overcorrection or over-lengthening as dictated by preoperative planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of significant forearm bone torsion might affect planning and evaluating treatment regimes in cerebral palsy patients. We aimed to evaluate the influence of longstanding wrist flexion, ulnar deviation, and forearm pronation due to spasticity on the bone geometries of radius and ulna. Furthermore, we aimed to model the hypothetical influence of these deformities on potential maximal moment balance for forearm rotation. METHODS Geometrical measures were determined in hemiplegic cerebral palsy patients (n=5) and healthy controls (n=5). Bilateral differences between the spastic arm and the unaffected side were compared to bilateral differences between the dominant and non-dominant side in the healthy controls. Hypothetical effects of bone torsion on potential maximal forearm rotation moment were calculated using an existing anatomical muscle model. FINDINGS Patients showed significantly smaller (radius: 41.6%; ulna: 32.9%) and shorter (radius: 9.1%; ulna: 8.4%) forearm bones in the non-dominant arm than in the dominant arm compared to controls (radius: 2.4%; ulna 2.5% and radius: 1.5%; ulna: 1.0% respectively). Furthermore, patients showed a significantly higher torsion angle difference (radius: 24.1°; ulna: 26.2°) in both forearm bones between arms than controls (radius: 2.0°; ulna 1.0°). The model predicted an approximate decrease of 30% of potential maximal supination moment as a consequence of bone torsion. INTERPRETATION Torsion in the bones of the spastic forearm is likely to influence potential maximal moment balance and thus forearm rotation function. In clinical practice, bone torsion should be considered when evaluating movement limitations especially in children with longstanding spasticity of the upper extremity.
