In a previous study of osteosclerosis in chronic renal failure (1), it was noted that this type of bone disease is characteristically seen when renal failure has been present for several years. We wished to confirm that the duration of renal disease is related to the changes in the skeleton and that the radiological appearance is due to an increase in mineral content of the bone and to see whet...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014207730 DESCRIPTION Pyknodysostosis, also known as osteopetrosis acro-osteolytica, is a rare autosomal-recessive bone dysplasia characterised by osteosclerosis and short stature. It involves mutations in the gene that encodes cathepsin K, a lysosomal metalloproteinase highly expressed ...

was osteosclerosis, affecting especially cortical bone and more marked in the three fingers most severely affected by soft-tissue atrophic changes. Osteosclerosis is an unusual but recognized change in ischaemic digits, and arteriograms would have been informative in our case, but were refused by the patient. Localized scleroderma (morphea) may occasionally be associated with certain sclerotic ...

Background: New technologies and techniques allow us to offer better solutions for patients’ needs. Specifically, guided surgery is usually flapless, the resulting prosthetic rehabilitation often includes immediate loading. Thus, bleeding risk controlled, more comfortable procedures are performed. Guided decreases surgical risks less invasive. The aim of this article present a case osteotomy bo...
