Periostitis, also known as periostalgia, is a medical condition caused by inflammation of the periosteum, a layer of connective tissue that surrounds bone. [1] The condition is generally chronic and is marked by tenderness and swelling of the bone and pain.
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a medical condition combining clubbing and periostitis of the small hand joints, especially the distal interphalangeal joints and the metacarpophalangeal joints. Distal expansion of the long bones as well as painful, swollen joints [3] and synovial villous proliferation are often seen.
Shin splints; Other names: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), [1] soleus syndrome, [2] tibial stress syndrome, [2] periostitis [2] Red area represents the tibia.Pain is generally in the inner and lower 2/3rds of tibia.
Garre's sclerosing osteomyelitis is a type of chronic osteomyelitis also called periostitis ossificans and Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis. It is a rare disease. [1] It mainly affects children and young adults. [2] It is associated with a low grade infection, which may be due to dental caries (cavities in the teeth). [citation needed]
Proliferative periostitis (periostitis ossificans, Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis) Osteoradionecrosis; OM can also be typed according to the area of the skeleton in which it is present. For example, osteomyelitis of the jaws is different in several respects from osteomyelitis present in a long bone.
Examples of periosteal reactive bone in selected specimens of Triceratops. A periosteal reaction can result from a large number of causes, including injury and chronic irritation due to a medical condition such as hypertrophic osteopathy, bone healing in response to fracture, chronic stress injuries, subperiosteal hematomas, osteomyelitis, and cancer of the bone.
The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, [1] except at the articular surfaces (i.e. the parts within a joint space) of long bones. (At the joints of long bones the bone's outer surface is lined with "articular cartilage", a type of hyaline cartilage.)
Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare genetic disorder that affects both bones and skin. [1] Other names are primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy or Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome. [2]
