The orthopedic and renal manifestations of idiopathic carpal tarsal osteolysis

Abstract

Idiopathic carpal tarsal osteolysis (ICTO) is a rare congenital disorder that results in the destruction and resorption of bone, leading to severe functional deficits and cosmetic deformities. This report includes a literature review describing the orthopedic and renal manifestations of ICTO. An additional case report of ICTO with atypical features is included.

Idiopathic carpal tarsal osteolysis (ICTO) with additional elbow involvement

“…Both Carmichael and McDonald et al described cases with elbow involvement. This was the case with our patient as well [1,4].…”

“…ICTO is a rare congenital disorder characterized by bone resorption affecting mainly the carpal and tarsal bones [1]. Previously it was known as idiopathic multicentric osteolysis and was first described in 1838 by this term [2].…”

“…Tyler et al also preferred the term idiopathic multicentric osteolysis (1976) as this encompassed the wide array of descriptive terminology used to describe this condition in the literature [3]. The term idiopathic carpal tarsal osteolysis was first used by Froelich and Coerret in 1937 [1,4]. It is also known as multicentric carpal-tarsal osteolysis with and without nephropathy, and the association of renal failure was first described by Marie et al in 1951 [2,4].…”

Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis in a rheumatologist’s practice

“…[13], -изменения с правой стороны гораздо более выраженные, чем слева. Некоторые авторы описали случаи с поражением локтя [10,13,16].…”

Paediatric Orthopaedic Diagnosis

“…There may be associated nephropathy (Carmichael et al 2007 ;McDonald et al 2007 ;Choi et al 1993 ). There may be associated nephropathy (Carmichael et al 2007 ;McDonald et al 2007 ;Choi et al 1993 ).…”
