This paper reviews hypertrophic osteopathy and describes one case report. Hypertrophic osteopathy is a rare pathologic disease process and is observed secondary to a mass in the thorax. In response to the presence of a mass(es), nonoedematous soft tissue swellings and a diffuse periosteal new bone formation develop in all four limbs. The result is mild to severe lameness. A twelve-year-old sexually intact female Cocker spaniel had undergone radical mastectomy on both sides in another veterinary hospital about two years before presentation in our hospital with lameness of both hind limbs. Pain and soft tissue swelling on the distal parts of extremities were determined in clinical examinations. Radiographs revealed periosteal new bone formation on all the long bones of all four limbs, pelvis and sternum; additionally, intrathoracic masses were observed. Euthanasia was performed five months later. Macroscopic examinations of the lungs revealed diffuse and exuberant masses with grizzled whitish cross-sectional colour and with necrotic and haemorrhagic foci. The radius-ulna, tibia, metacarpal and metatarsal bones of both limbs were examined and collected after the necropsy examination. Bone specimens were thicker and the outer surfaces seemed to be rough. At the histopathologic examination of the lung tissue, ovoid or round shaped and hyperchromatic nucleated diffuse anaplastic mammary gland epithelial cells were observed. According to these findings, these masses were diagnosed as the metastasis of malignant mixed tumours.

Chapter 88 outlines the key radiologic features of soft tissue infections and the diagnostic value of the different imaging modalities such as conventional radiography, US, CT, and MRI. Soft tissue infections present in various forms that involve varying depths from skin to deeper tissues. Early diagnosis may be challenging because of nonspecific clinical presentations, resulting in delay in management. The advent of cross-sectional imaging has improved diagnostic capabilities dramatically, with US, CT, and particularly MRI being the pillars of evaluation. Prompt and appropriate imaging workup of the various MSK soft tissue infections aids early diagnosis and in demonstrating the extent of the disease process, as treatment delay significantly reduces the cure rate and increases the risk of complications.

Periosteal new bone formation (PNBF) is the means by which appositional bone growth normally takes place on the surfaces of compact bone. Alterations in the periosteal microenvironment trigger complex interactions between osteoblasts and endothelial cells to promote PNBF. Physiologic processes like mechanical stress result in normal PNBF; but, a variety of pathologic processes result in excessive PNBF. The production of sufficient bone to be detectable by conventional radiography is a common feature of diverse etiologies, including infection; inflammation; prostaglandin E2 administration for ductal-dependent congenital heart disease; metabolic and hormonal abnormalities; neoplasms; fracture repair; systemic hypoxia; and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. While the clinical settings and distribution of affected bone sites in these conditions are different, the histopathology of the PNBF is essentially identical; so, it seems logical that a common pathway might mediate them all. By combining the observations and insights gained from osseous research and studying the clinical pathology of these diverse conditions, we constructed a comprehensive pathway to explain PNBF. In doing so, it seems likely that Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is the most likely common mediator of the pathways that lead to PNBF.

Purpose. To date, it remains unknown whether the addition of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to bone grafts actually improves the effectiveness of maxillary sinus augmentation. This study aimed to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of PRF in sinus lift.Materials and Methods. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched. Randomized controlled studies were identified. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration tool.Results. Five RCTs were included in our meta-analysis. Clinical, radiographic, and histomorphometric outcomes were considered. No implant failure or graft failure was detected in all included studies within the follow-up period. The percentage of contact length between newly formed bone substitute and bone in the PRF group was lower but lacked statistical significance (3.90%, 95% CI, -2.91% to 10.71%). The percentages of new bone formation (-1.59%, 95% CI, -5.36% to 2.18%) and soft-tissue area (-3.73%, 95% CI, -10.11% to 2.66%) were higher in the PRF group but were not significantly different. The percentage of residual bone graft was not significant in either group (4.57%, 95% CI, 0% to 9.14%).Conclusions. Within the limitations of this review, it was concluded that there were no statistical differences in survival rate, new bone formation, contact between newly formed bone and bone substitute, percentage of residual bone graft (BSV/TV), and soft-tissue area between the non-PRF and PRF groups. Current evidence supporting the necessity of adding PRF to bone graft in sinus augmentation is limited.
