Metabolic Diseases of the Bone •Paget’s •Gout Carolyn Morse Jacobs, RN, MSN, ONC Paget’s Disease (osteitis deformans) Etiology/Pathophysiology • Bone deformities due to abnormal regeneration and reabsorption of bone • Affects pelvis, lone bones, spine, cranium • Cause unknown (hormonal, autoimmune, etc) • Excessive osteoclastic bone reabsorption then osteoblastic bone formation • Bone initially hyperemic (increased blood flow); bone soft; new bone brittle • Common males over 50 Paget’s Disease (osteitis deformans) Manifestations & Complications • Initially aymptomatic • Bone pain; pathologic fractures • Mental changes due to compression of spinal cord (small hat syndrome) • Hearing loss • CV disease (vasodilation of vessels in skin and tissues overlying affected bones) • May lead to osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma Paget’s Disease Diagnosis • Increased serum alkaline phosphatase • X-ray shows thickened bone, curved, abnormal structure Nursing diagnosis Treatment • Supportive • Calcitonin, EHDP, Mithramycin • Exercises What nursing problems can you identify from this slide? What nursing problem can you identify from this slide? Musculoskeletal effects (pain long bones, deformities, deformity, pathological fx, compression fx) Neurological (hearing loss, spinal cord injuries, back pain) CV (high cardiac output; inc temp over affected extremities) Metabolic (hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria) Case study Paget’s disease Diagnostic Tests • X-rays (punched out appearance) • Bone scans • CT scans and MRI • Serum alkaline phosphatase increased • Urinary collagen pyridinoline indicated bone resorption Paget’s disease Therapeutic Interventions/Collaborative Care • Pain medications (NSAIDS) • Bisphophonate (retard bone resorption such as Fosamax by ataching to bone surface to inhibit osteoclastic activity) • Calcitonin (inhibit osteoclastic resorption; also anangesic) • Calcium supplements • Surgery: THR; TKR Nursing Diagnosis • Chronic Pain • Impaired Physical Mobility Gout Etiology/Pathophysiology • Inflammatory response to production or excretion or uric acid resulting in high levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia) • Caused by disturbed uric acid metabolism • Urate salts deposited in articular, periarticular and subcutaneous tissue • Primary result of genetic defect purine metabolism • Secondary due to increased cell turnover (medications, diseases, leukemia, etc) • ? Who gets secondary gout? Gout Urate deposities in synovial fluids cause gouty arthritis Urate depositis in subcutaneous nodules cause formation of tophi Normal serum uric acid level 3-4-7.0- men; 2-4 and 6.0 women; higher than 7 mg/dl sodium urate crystals form; deposit in peripheral tissues with low temperatures; areas subject to tissue trauma Manifestations Gout Manifestations & Complications Gout Manifestations • Stage 1: asymptomatic; hyperuricemic • Stage 2: acute gouty arthritis; affect single joint, unexpected, trauma , stress; high level uric acid; joint hot, red swollen; generally metatarsophalangeal joint great toe. Stage 3: Chronic Tophaceous; occurs if gout not treated; urate pool increases; develop in multiple areas (especially ear, bursae, toes), compress nerves and erode through tissues. Kidney disease with untreated gout; kidney stones! Management Gouty Arthritis Diagnostic Tests • Serum uric aacid elevated (above 7.5 mg/dl) • WBC elevated (if acute) • ESR elevated • 24 urineproduction and excretion or uric acid • Analysis of fluid from involved joint Interventions • Diet: Slight effect; maybe low purine (all meats, seafoods, spinach, avoid alcohol) • Fluids: Liberal 2000cc • Acute: alleviate pain, inflammation • Bedrest: 24 hours after attack • Medications including ASA, NSAID, Colchicine IV or orally (GI symptoms) Medications for Gout Uricosuric Agents • Probenecid (ASA an antagonist); inhibits resportion of uric acid thus increases excretion of uric acid • Sulfinprazone (anturan) to block resorption uric acid • Need high fluid intake, alkaline urine Xanthine-oxidase inhibitors decrease uric acid production • Allopurinal (zyloprim); may cause agranucytosis • Need high fluid intake, and alkaline urine Priority Nursing Problems and Interventions Acute Pain • Position for comfort • Protect affected joint from pressure Knowledge deficit • Instruct patient on medications used to treat/manage disease process Impaired physical Mobility Disease control! Required Resource Osteomyelitis/Septic Arthritis Inflammation with an Infectious cause. Osteomyelitis affects the bones; septic arthritis affects the joints. Etiology/Pathophysiology Osteomyelitis Usually bacterial cause Most often from direct inoculation or contiguous infection (open wound/adjacent wound) Hematogenous spread • (older adults, IV drug users, spine affected ) Vascular insufficiency (diabetics, PVD) Primary agents causing osteomyelitis: Staph, E. coli, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, salmonella, and Proteus, strep, gonorrhea Development of Osteomyelitis Bacteria invade bone Pressure within bone increases Periosteum elevates and bone DIES Infected bone separates = sequestrum Separated periosteum produces new bone = involcrum Sinus tract forms Figure 39.9 Osteomyellitis Development of Osteomyelitis Classification of osteomyelitis Acute Chronic Sinus tracts form, bone destruction Etiology/Pathophysiology Septic Arthritis (Joint infection) Septic arthritis develops when joint space invaded by pathogen • Hematogenous • Direct inoculation Persistent bacteremia; previous joint damage Joint infection results in inflammation, synovitis, joint effusion; abscess formation; cause joint destruction Onset abrupt; pain, stiffness in joint, red, hot and swollen; systemic manifestations Agents • staph, strep, e-coli, Pseudomonas, gonorrhea, viral, post rubella Osteomyelitis Manifestations/complications Acute 24-48 hrs postsurgery • Pain • CV: tachycardia; chills, fever • Integumentary: Swelling, erythemia, lymph node involvement • MS: Pseudoarthrosis involved limb Chronic • Signs & symptoms chronic infection • Drainage wound perodically Diagnostic tests • X-ray, no initial bone changes • CT, MRI, radionucleotidetide bone scan. Biopsy • Ultrasound for subperiosteal fluid collection, etc • Culture • Late bone changes with bone destruction • ESR, WBC, CBC Septic Arthritis Manifestations/complications Signs and symptoms • Medical emergency requiring prompt intervention to preserve joint function! • Extremely painful • Loss of motion • High fever • Less likely to become chronic Diagnostic tests • Lab studies: • Blood cultures from likely sources • CBC, etc • X-rays show synovial effusion • Arthrocenthesis with culture • Positive, synovial fluid cloudy, high WBC low glucose Synovial inflammation! Comparison acute rheumatoid arthritis and septic arthritis of the joint! Purulent exudate! Septic Arthritis (most common in children) Priority Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis Nursing Diagnosis • • • • Risk for Infection! Hyperthermia Acute Pain Impaired physical mobility • Potential for injury: fracture (chronic osteomyelitis) • Knowledge deficit Interventions • Acute: prevent, identify source, short-term antibiotics • Chronic: opt nutrition, splint for support, surgery,hyperbaric O2, muscle flap, long term antibiotics Management Osteomyelitis Septic Arthritis If only I had taken those antibiotics!

In addition, if he takes probenecid, he must drink at least (b)3000 ml of fluids per day to protect his kidneys! Probenecid (Benemid) inhibits renal tubular reabsorption of urates (ineffective when creatinine reduced. ASA inactivates effects of uricosurics and causes urate retention. Adequate fluids necessary (3000 ml) prevent precipitation or uric acid in renal tubules Case study Osteomyelitis AJ, a rodeo rider suffered a comminuted fracture of his left tibia 20 years ago; had multiple surgical procedures and treatments with antibiotics, but continued to have a draining sinus in the lower leg. His is admitted to the hospital for definitive treatment due to the continued draining sinus, soft tissue swelling and signs of chronic infection. Case study chronic osteomyelitis 1. What was the most likely “original” cause of AJ’s osteomyelitis? What organism is the most likely culprit? 2. What risk factors? 3. Explain the pathophysiology of chronic osteomyelitis? Case study chronic osteomyelitis 1. What was the most likely “original” cause of AJ’s osteomyelitis? (open comminuted fracture; direct innoculation; maybe complication of surgery) What organism is the most likely culprit? (Staph most common) 2. What risk factors?(Poor blood supply of tibia, over 50, other unknown factors such smoking, hx diabetes, PVD) 3. Explain the pathophysiology of chronic osteomyelitis?(Bacteria lodge in bone and multiply, inflammatory and immune system response walls off infection; bone tissue destroyed, pus forms, more edema and congestion, travels to other parts of bone; when gets to outer portion of bone, lifts periosteum, disrupts blood supply; sinus tract forms; Blood and antibiotics unable to reach bone tissue when pressure compromises vascular and arteriolar system; bacteria also covers bone) Case study chronic osteomyelitis 4. What diagnostic tests are typically performed for chronic osteomyelitis? 5. What signs and symptoms would you expect to see in AJ? 6. Describe medications usually employed in the management of chronic osteomyelitis. Case study chronic osteomyelitis 4. What diagnostic tests are typically performed for chronic osteomyelitis? (scans, X-ray, MRI, blood tests (cultures), radionucleotide bone scans to determine if active, ultrasound for subperiosteal fluid collection, ESR, blood and tissue cultures) 5. What signs and symptoms would you expect to see in AJ?(signs chronic infection; sinus tract drainage, limp in invloved extremity, localized tenderness, lymph node swelling, non-healing wound, tachycardia, anorexia, potential for pathological fracture etc) 6. Describe medications usually employed in the management of chronic osteomyelitis.( Culture and sensitivity; 4-6 weeks antibiotics, must revascularize bone, antibiotics directly to area) Case study chronic osteomyelitis Since conservative treatment was ineffective, surgical intervention was employed. Debride inflammatory tissue and infected bone; left defect of soft tissue and in tibia (bacterial cultures taken) Latissimus muscle flat (myocutaneous flap) used to fill defect and supply blood; with muscle attached to anterior tibial artery defect for blood supply; implanted antimicrobial beads Case study chronic osteomyelitis 1.
