Bone scan in the diagnosis of renal osteopathy (author's transl)
Neyer, U., G. Mahr, et al. (1978), Dtsch Med Wochenschr 103(11): 451-5.
Abstract: Biochemical tests (serum calcium, inorganic phosphate and alkaline phosphatase), as well as clinical, radiological, scanning and histological investigations were undertaken in 24 patients in chronic renal failure. The frequency with which the diagnosis of renal osteopathy could be made depended in the method of investigation, the biochemical findings proving to be completely unreliable. There were positive radiological signs in ten patients and clinical signs in 12, predominantly in the progressive stages of osteopathy. A positive scan was obtained in 23 patients, typical histological bone changes in an equal number. Since it correlates so well with the histological findings, bone scan is suitable particularly in the early diagnosis of osteopathy. Since this test is easily performed and hardly stresses the patient, it should routinely be the initial one for the diagnosis of renal osteopathy.

Bone scintigraphy in renal osteopathy
Hermann, H. J. and G. Gahl (1976), Nuklearmedizin 15(5): 223-7.
Abstract: 25 Patients with chronic renal disease are investigated. In 16 cases with conservative treatment the bone scintigram showed pathological uptake according to the creatinine level, mainly in the joints of iliosacrum, hip, knee and ankles. In three patients increased uptake in the skull was found. The bone uptake found by scintigraphy was highly pronounced in the patients treated by dialysis. The most frequently involved regions were the joints of iliosacrum and hip, facial cranium, skull, pelvis and metatarsus. The count-rate ratio of cranium to chest was significantly increased in 6 patients. The investigations 6 months later showed in 4 cases a further increase compared with the first values. Count-rates of the skull were found to be comparable to the highly increased uptake in Paget's disease. Bone scintigraphy is a suitable method to estimate semiquantitatively the bone turnover in renal disease.

Calcipenic osteopathy in transfusion hemosiderosis and idiopathic hemochromatosis
Czink, E., C. Horvath, et al. (1991), Orv Hetil 132(22): 1187-92.
Abstract: Bone metabolism studies were performed on 5 patients with transfusion haemosiderosis (2 male, 3 female; mean age: 30.8 years) and 5 patients with idiopathic haemochromatosis (2 male, 3 female; mean age: 48.8 years). In the majority of the patients, the modern osteodensitometric method showed a significant decrease of the mineral content of the trabecular and cortical bones. Low calcitonin and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate concentrations were measured in the majority of the patients with calcipenic osteopathy. Besides marked bone loss, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism was found in 3 male patients, while normal LH, FSH concentration values were measured in 3 female patients. The prolactin concentration was normal in all 6 patients. The authors suppose that besides the already known pathogenetic factors, insufficient calcitonin effect and especially the partial lack of dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate can play a role in the development of bone loss connected with iron overload. Further study with a greater number of patients in required to support the above findings.

Changes in posture induced by 2 osteopathic manipulations are coherent with the sagittal or frontal orientation they involve
Scheibel, A. and M. Debusschere (1991), Agressologie 32(2): 134-6.
Abstract: The effects of two osteopathic handlings were studied by two stabilometric criteria: the Cervical Symetry Quotient and the Spectrum of Amplitude. Out of 60 people, half were subjected to a High Velocity Technique the force of which was located in a frontal (left-right) plane of the body, the other half to a Fascial Technique the force of which was in the saggital (antero-posterior) plane of the body. The High Velocity Technique induces a significative modification of the Cervical Symetry Quotient which tends to be normal two days later; the Fascial Technique does not modify this criterium 20 min nor 7 days later. Both techniques modify significantly the Spectrum of Amplitude, High Velocity Technique in the 0.16-0.22 Hz band and in the frontal (left-right) plane, the Fascial Technique in the 0.3 Hz band and in the saggital (antero-posterior) plane of the body. These modifications last for up to 2 and 7 days respectively. So each of these two osteopathic techniques induce postural effects in the concerned plane of the body and not (or little) in the perpendicular plane.

Chronic hypophosphatemic osteopathy ("rachitis"). Clinico-osteological review
Swoboda, W. (1977), Acta Med Austriaca 4(4-9): 156-60.
Abstract: Chronic hypophosphatemia is the most common type of "resistant" rickets. Bone deformities, dwarfism and X-chromosomal dominant heredity, are regular findings in this "inborn error" of phosphate metabolism. Continumous administration of high dosage of vitamin D results in some improvement of the rickets-like bone lesions. Oral administration of phosphate seems to improve longitudinal growth. A summary of our experiences in 44 patients is presented.

Chronic hypophosphatemic osteopathy (author's transl)
Koppers, B., L. Schmid, et al. (1980), Rofo 133(1): 34-42.
Abstract: The process of chronic hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets--observation of two cases. With the male patient--our first case--the disease was sporadic and had not been recognized for a long time. In his early adulthood it manifested itself as Umbauzonen (pseudofractures) in the larger context of active osteomalacia. It was possible to observe the pseudofractures before and while the patient was treated with drugs. High doses of vitamin D 3 and dosage of phosphate mitigated the complains although with respect to the radiological, scintigraphic, humoral and histological findings there was only slow improvement or no improvement at all.--The patient's daughter is affected by the disease as well. In her case the pathological signs of her bones became better when treated with vitamin D 3.

Chronic hypophosphatemic osteopathy (rachitis). Orthopedic review
Endler, F. (1977), Acta Med Austriaca 4(4-9): 161-8.
Abstract: Origanized collaboration between the osteologist and the orthopaedic surgeons in diagnosis and treatment of this disease, is basically important for a successful orthopaedic approach and for the maintenance of stabile long-time healing-results. From a total of 48 patients, in 25 cases an operative treatment was necessary. The relationship between the biochemical distrubance of bone metabolism and biomechanical factors in the progressive development of articular and diaphyseal axis deformities, especially of the weight bearing lower extremities, was determined. The indications and mechanical conditions with relation to conservative and operative therapeutic procedures are analyzed and the praeoperative biomechanical and biochemical therapeutic approach is described in detail.

Clodronate in treatment of tumor osteopathy. Evaluation in tumor patients with bone metastases or hypercalcemia
Voigtmann, R. and A. Kirstein (1994), Fortschr Med 112(4): 43-6.
Abstract: METHOD: In an observational study involving 398 tumor patients with bone metastases or related hypercalcemia, the effect of treatment with clodronate over a period of 12 months was investigated. Bone pain, analgesic requirements, quality of life and laboratory parameters were recorded at monthly intervals. RESULTS: Some 71.4% of all patients indicated an improvement in quality of life. Bone pain, experienced by 91.4% of the patients at the start of treatment, regressed (from 2.0 +/- 1.2 to 1.3 +/- 1.0). After the 12-month treatment period, 36% of the patients did without analgesics completely (prior to treatment the corresponding figure was 24%). The most common side effects attributed to clodronate were gastrointestinal disorders (10%). CONCLUSION: Clodronate would appear to be a useful supportive drug in the management of tumor-related bone disease.

Comparative studies with quantitative computed tomography and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry on bone density in renal osteopathy
Funke, M., J. Maurer, et al. (1992), Rofo 157(2): 145-9.
Abstract: Measurements of bone density were carried out in 25 patients on dialysis for terminal renal insufficiency, using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Unlike in subjects with normal kidneys, there was no significant correlation between these methods in this series. Ten patients showed an increase in bone density of the vertebral spongiosa on QCT measurements, which was interpreted as due to osteosclerotic bone changes in renal osteopathy. QCT showed advantages over DXA in demonstrating these changes.
