Skeletal fluorosis: don’t miss the diagnosis!
Skeletal Radiology, 2019Skeletal fluorosis is a rare toxic osteopathy characterized by massive bone fixation of fluoride. The disease occurs as an endemic problem in some parts of the world and is the result of prolonged ingestion or rarely by inhalation of high amounts of fluoride.

Paleopathology of skeletal fluorosis
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1999Skeletal fluorosis is one of a range of conditions causing excessive ossification and joint ankylosis in skeletons. It is rarely considered, however, in differential diagnoses of palaeopathological lesions. This paper considers the identification of skeletal fluorosis in a skeletal sample from the island of Bahrain, Arabian Gulf, dating to ca.

Skeletal scintigraphic findings in endemic skeletal fluorosis
Nuclear Medicine Communications, 1993Endemic skeletal fluorosis is characterized by bone, joint and muscle pain, progressive ankylosis of various joints and crippling deformities. Whole body skeletal scintigraphy with 99Tcm-methylene diphosphonate was performed for 17 symptomatic subjects suffering from this disorder.

Histopathological assessment of endemic skeletal fluorosis
Calcified Tissue Research, 1974Nine patients with skeletal fluorosis were subjected to iliac crest biopsy because they presented with stiffness and bone pains. The histopathological findings are correlated with the clinical course, X-ray and laboratory data. All but one of the patients showed an increase in bone surfaces lined by osteoid and in these eight patients resorption of ...

SKELETAL FLUOROSIS IN IMMOBILIZED EXTREMITIES
Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Section A Pathology, 1975The effect of immobilization on skeletal fluorosis was studied in growing rabbits. One hind leg was immobilized by an external fixation device extending below the wrist joint and above the knee joint, the extremity being in a straight position after severance of the sciatic nerve. The animals, aged 7 weeks at the beginning of the experiment, were given

Skeletal Fluorosis: A Report of Two Cases
Orthopedics, 1988ABSTRACT: Two Illustrative cases of patients with skeletal fluorosis and classic radiographic changes are presented. One patient demonstrated a progressive paraparesis, while the other was diagnosed incidentally on routine radiographs. A review of the literature, treatment, and histologic findings are presented.

Incidence of skeletal deformities in endemic fluorosis
Tropical Doctor, 2008An investigation was undertaken in three endemic fluorotic areas of Punjab State, India, to assess the prevalence of skeletal deformities. The concentration of fluoride in drinking water varies from 2.3 to 22.5 mg/L. The patients affected with skeletal fluorosis revealed joint pain in both upper and lower limbs, numbing and tingling of the extremities,

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2015 Skeletal fluorosis is a chronically metabolic bone disease with extensive hyperostosis osteosclerosis caused by long time exposure to fluoride. Skeletal fluorosis brings about a series of abnormal changes of the extremity, such as joint pain, joint ...
