What are the causes of cortical thinning?
summary
Cortical thinning is often seen in solitary endochondroma. Solitary endochondroma is a common tumor, mainly in the long tubular bone and short tubular bone of the limbs. With the growth of the tumor, the cortex of the affected bone became thinner and expanded. This is more common in the phalanges, metacarpals or metatarsals. What are the causes of cortical thinning? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.
What are the causes of cortical thinning?
When bone lesions occur, it can cause the expansion of the bone cortex, and the bone cortex will become thinner due to the expansion. It is a tumor caused by ectopic tissue. It may be a hamartoma originating from cartilage,
These hyaline cartilages did not undergo endochondral ossification. The disease begins in children. With the growth of bone, the tumor moves from the metaphyseal region to the backbone and continues to grow until the bone matures. When the bone matures, the tumor stops growing and gradually calcifies.
Cortical thinning can be caused by solitary endochondroma. At the beginning of clinical symptoms, the patient did not feel the presence of tumor. The first thing that attracted attention was the injury. After the injury, local pain and swelling. X-ray can show pathological fracture. In the cases of endochondroma reported by machens, 38.4% of the patients were found with pathological bone fracture, and 11% of the patients were found by accident.
matters needing attention
Should eat calcium rich food; Should eat the food with high collagen content; Should eat food with high vitamin B content. Coprinus comatus has high protein content and rich vitamin B2 content, which is conducive to improving the body's bone deposition. It can increase the hardness of bone.
