===[[Lysosomal Storage Disease]]===
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===Osteogenesis Imperfecta===
 
 
 
*Cause of fragile bones in humans, very rarely in animals
 
*Reported in Holstein and Charolais calves
 
*Poor mineralisation of bones and teeth
 
*Fractures are often present at birth

===Congenital hyperostosis of pigs===
 
[[Image:Hyperostosis.jpg|right|thumb|100px|<small><center>Hyperostosis (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)</center></small>]]
 
 
 
*Rare, genetic
 
*Diaphysial dysplasia
 
*Excessive periosteal intramembranous bone, particularly in long bones
 
*Grossly:
 
**Greatly thickened long bones
 
**Tense, shiny skin, closely adherent to tissues below
 
*Born dead or die soon after birth

===Retention of elongated primary trabeculae===
 
 
 
*Happens due to impaired osteoclastic activity
 
*Primary trabeculae do not transform into secondary and tertiary
 
*Continue to elongate
 
*Form a dense band beneath growth plate - growth retardation lattice
 
*Dense spikules apparent on radiographs
 
*Can be caused by [[Paramyxoviridae#Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)|distemper virus]], [[Flaviviridae|bovine viral diarrhoea virus]]

==Localised==
 
 
 
*'''Hemimelia''' - abscence of one of limb bones
 
*'''Syndactylia''' - fusion of toes
 
*'''Polydactylia''' - increased number of digits
 
*'''Ectrodactylia''' - cleft in paw extending to metacarpus of dogs and cats
 
 
 
 
 
===Cervical Vertebral Stenotic Myelopathy (Wobblers)===
 
 
 
*Equine disease
 
*Narrowing of the vertebral canal due to malalignment or maldevelopment of the vertebrae
 
*Fast growing male TBs ranging from 8 months to 4 years
 
*Hind limb ataxia due to cord compression

===Angular limb deformity===
 
 
 
*Lateral deviation of distal portion of limb (valgus)
 
*Medial deviation of distal portion of limb (varus) - more rare
 
*Most common in foals
 
**Carpal joint
 
**Tarsal joint
 
**Fetlock joint
 
*Congenital or acquired
 
*Due to:
 
**Malpositioning in utero
 
**Excessive joint laxity
 
**[[Hypothyroidism|Hypothyroidism]]
 
**Trauma
 
**Overnutrition
 
**Defective endochondral ossification
 
**Poor conformation
 
**Disruption of blood supply to one side of bone
 
**Secondary to [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Physitis|physitis in horses]]
 
*Usually resolves spontaneously in one to two weeks of life
 
*More severe cases exceding compensatory capabilities will persisist
 
*[[Bone & Cartilage Development - Anatomy & Physiology|Cartilage development]] is affected

===Fibrous dysplasia===
 
 
 
*See [[Bones Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Fibrous dysplasia|Bones and Cartilage - hyperplastic and neoplastic]]
 
 
 
 
 
[[Category:Bones - Developmental Pathology]]
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===Physitis===
 
 
 
*In horses
 
*Often associated with [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Angular limb deformity|angular limb deformity]]
 
*Also called '''epiphysitis''' and '''physeal dysplasia'''
 
*Problem of [[Bone & Cartilage Development - Anatomy & Physiology|endochondral ossification]]
 
*Two age groups
 
**Weanlings
 
**Yearlings in early training and two-year-olds
 
*May cause contracted tendons and flexural deformities
 
*Factors probably involved in its development:
 
**Genetically fast growth rate
 
**Large quantities of imbalanced, high energy feed
 
**Imbalanced weight-bearing on joints
 
**Excessive activity
 
**Growth spurts
 
*Histologically: (appearance similar to [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Angular limb deformity|angular limb deformity]])
 
**Lateral aspect of radius
 
***Thickened metaphyseal part of physeal cartilage
 
***-> Delay or disturbance of endochondral ossification
 
***Compression
 
**Central part
 
***No obvious deformity
 
**Medial aspect
 
***Tension
 
***-> Transverse [[Bones Fractures - Pathology|fractures]] and repair
 
**Laxity of periarticular attachements in young foals allows [[Bones Developmental - Pathology#Angular limb deformity|angular limb deformity]]; not occuring in older foals and young horses
 
**(Sustained trauma produces similar lesions)
