What is hyperostosis?
Hyperostosis condition characterized by bone overgrowth. It may occur independently or as a symptom of another disease process. Depending on what this causes, hyperostosis may be associated with a number of different problems for the patient, including pain, bone deformations and inflammation. Orthopedic specialist is usually involved in the plan of diagnosis and treatment and can also be invited by other doctors. Bone overgrowth can sometimes cause inflammation, pain and other problems that bring the patient to the doctor, and subsequent studies of medical imaging can detect bone strengthening. If the patient is diagnosed with a condition associated with bone overgrowth, the doctor may also look for hyperostosis, so that it can be quickly solved when it occurs. The condition can also be diagnosed as a result of X -rays taken for unrelated reason.
Patients with hyperostosis can experience total bone overgrowth or too much growth of specific bones. It is also possible to see exostosis in which the bone grows to the topOlo bone. This can lead to joint problems, as the thickened bone can disrupt the function of the joints and the overgrown bone can also interfere with the nerves and blood supply. If inflammation is involved, the patient may experience pain and related symptoms such as heat around the inflamed area.
Treatment of hyperostosis relies on solving the basic cause of the condition, which can also solve bone overgrowth in the patient. In some cases, it may only be possible to handle the condition rather than actively treating it. If overgrowth becomes a serious problem for the patient, the physician may recommend surgery to remove excess bones. Management is aimed at preventing permanent bone deformation that can lead to problems such as limb length changes, joint damage, etc.
form of hyperostosis known as infantile cortical hyperostosis may be present during the first six months of life and is characterized by irritatedFacred, pain and disruption in an infant. This condition usually solves itself, although sometimes it results in permanent changes in the bone structure caused by inflammation and reinforcement of bone. In diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (bowl), ligaments that surround the spine hardening, reduce freedom of movement and cause discomfort, pain and inflammation.
