Abstract

RICKETS and OSTEOMALACIA are characterized by impaired mineralization of bony matrix. In some Asians countries they are common disorders and they may represent a health problem. So we decided to study CLINICAL, biochemical and radiologic features of these disorders in our patients.Methods; In a prospective study during 10 years (1989-1998) we studied all cases of OSTEOMALACIA and RICKETS in the rheumatology center of Imam Reza Hospital. Diagnosis was based on the CLINICAL, LABORATORY and RADIOGRAPHIC findings. All patients were treated with Vit D and calcium.Results: We had 797 patients (795 female, 2 male). Their age was between 8-74 years. Most cases were in a second decade. CLINICAL findings were: bone pain 96.4%, (most common in knee, back and pelvis), muscle weakness 81%, abnormal gait 43%, and bone deformity 19.6% (often genuvalgus and genuvarus). LABORATORY findings were: osteopenia 63%, epiphyseal growth plate alterations 74.4%, ground glass appearance 26.8% and looser's zones 26.5%. The response to treatment with Vit. D and calcium was significant. Only four patients were Vit. D resistant.Conclusion: RICKETS and OSTEOMALACIA are common disorders in our region. Females especially in growing age are often involved. The most common cause is Vit. D deficiency probably due to inadequate sun exposure. For prevention we suggest that women should be educated for taking adequate sun exposure and Vit. D should be added to dairy products.
