RICKETS :TYPES,DIAGNOSIS
PREVENTION, & TREATMENT
Active Rickets Recovery
2. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Rickets (Rachitis)
Metabolic disease of growing
bone that is unique to children
(especially of first 2 years) and
adolescents.
.Caused by failure of osteoid
to calcify in growing bones.
4. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Growth plate in normal bone shows:
Zone of resting
cartilage
(one layer of cells).
!
Zone of proliferating
cartilage:
Regular columns of
cells originating
from resting layer).
5. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Growth plate :
Zone of degeneration :
(cells become swollen with glycogen,
glycolytic enzymes and alkaline
phosphatase. Calcium is deposited in
the matrix. It is sharply demarcated in
X ray film).
!
Zone of ossification :
!
(Blood vessels invade the developing
bone with ossification and remodeling
resulting in mature bone).
6. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
In rickets
Zone of proliferation:
increases &
becomes very vascular causing enlargement of
metaphyseal area and invades adjacent zone of
degeneration.
!
Zone of degeneration:
Fails to mineralise &
newly formed tissue called osteoid is excessively
deposited and being soft it gives way with
pressure causing bulging and deformity of
metaphyseal area of long bones
!
(this is responsible for flaring of the ends of
long bones and rachitic rosary).

2.Vit D-dependent rickets type 2
!
(hereditary 1-alfa, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistent
rickets)
- mutation exists in the vitamin D receptors (VDR).
!
3.Vit D-resistent rickets (Familial
hypophosphatemic rickets) -
!
mutations of the phosphate-regulating gene on the X chromosome
13. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
PHOSPHOROUS DEFICIENCY
INADEQUATE INTAKE:
-rare ,severe anorexia
-long-term use of aluminum-
containing antacids
!
!
PHOSPHATONIN:
decreases renal tubular reabsorption
of phosphate and therefore decreases serum phosphorus.

BREAST-FED INFANTS:
Low Vitamin D Content of Breast
Milk,
so infant rely on Cutaneous
Synthesis or Vitamin Supplements.
20. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
In acute course of rickets symptoms of osteomalacia
prevail
In subacute – symptoms of hyperplasia of osteoid
tissue.
!
Initial period is starting from 2-3 month of life, lasts from
2-3 weeks to 2-3 months. In breast-fed infants whose
mothers have osteomalacia, rickets may develop before 2
months.
!
Florid rickets appears toward the end of the 1st and
during the 2nd year of life.
!
Later in childhood, manifest vitamin D deficient rickets
is rare.
21. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
In rickets
In the shaft: bone is resorbed and new osteoid
is formed around the shaft from the
periosteum
!
During healing of rickets: a new line of
calcified bone (line of provisional
calcification) appears at the end of zone of
degeneration out standing from rarefied
osteoid then the area between it and the
diaphysis gradually fills with normal density
bone.
23. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
1.Craniotabes:
Occurs due to thinning of the inner
table of occipital bone under the
pressure of intracranial contents with
failure of mineralization.
!
It can be elicited by gentle pressure
by both thumbs of the occipital bone,
which produces a dent with crackling
sensation (ping pong ball like).
!
This can be elicited from 3 to 12
months of life.
24. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Clinical manifestation Early rickets
2. Rosary:
Enlargement of costochondral
junction of ribs giving the appearance
of beads due to excessive osteoid
formation.
!
3. Radiological finding of active rickets
!
4. Rise of serum alkaline phosphatase
enzyme.
25. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Advanced rickets
Head:
Bossing of skull: excessive proliferation of cartilage at occipital
and parietal eminences makes the skull looks like a box.
!
Enlargement of head circumference.
!
Delayed closure of anterior fontanels, which remains widely
open
!
Delayed eruption of primary dentition with possible enamel
hypoplasia
26. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Thorax:
Rosary beads.
!
Longitudinal sulcus: appears lateral to the rosaries
due to compression of rib cage by atmospheric
pressure at weakest point.
!
Harrison's sulcus: A transverse sulcus along the
lower border of the costal margin due to inward
traction of the ribs at sites of diaphragmatic
insertion.

Abdomen:
Liver and spleen become palpable as deformed chest and weak
abdominal muscles
!
Abdomen appears protruded.
!
Pelvis:
Pelvic inlet is narrowed by forward protrusion of sacral promontory,
while pelvic outlet is narrowed by forward projection of the coccyx.
!
This might be very hazardous in females during labor in the future.
Advanced rickets
30. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com

Anemia: due to chronic infection or deficiencies.
!
Tetany: due to hypocalcaemia in late cases after
exhaustion of parathyroids.
33. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Rickets leads to cupping and to
a brush−like appearance of the
epiphyseal ends on radiograms.

Radiologic Changes
Active rickets:
They occur early, are pathognomonic and diagnostic, and help
in follow up.
Distal ends of long bones appear flared, frayed and cupped.
!
Distance between the distal end of radius and metacarpal bones
appears wider than normal (by the area filled with osteoid).
!
Diaphysis appears rarefied and may show double contour or
deformity.
36. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Radiologic Changes
Healing rickets:
Occurs 2-3 weeks after
successful treatment.
Appearance of the line of
provisional calcification at the
end of metaphysis, then the
osteoid in between this line
and diaphysis gradually
ossifies.

Biochemical parameters:
Serum alkaline phosphatase is elevated due to over activity
of osteoblasts during the formation of excessive osteoid
(normal 5-15 Bodansky units /dl).
!
Serum inorganic phosphorus is decreased (normal 4.5-6.5
mg/dl).
!
Serum calcium is maintained within normal values (9-11
mg/dl) due to compensatory hyperactivity of parathyroid
gland.
!
Vitamin D and its metabolites are decreased.

Rickets
44. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
1. Low dosage and long−term vitamin D
therapy (gradual method)
1000− 10 000 IU/day (125-250 mcg) for 2−3
months
Vitamin D can be given according to the infant’s
age as follows:
1000 IU/day for infants < 1 month of age,
1000-5000 IU/ day for children 1-12 mon.
5000-10 000 IU/day for children > 12 mon.
If hypocalcemia is seen the initial dose of vit D
must be doubled.
Afterwards, it is recommended to give
maintenance therapy of 400 IU/ day.
45. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Because this method requires daily treatment,
success depends on compliance.
Levels of Ca and P are normalized in 6−10 days by
this therapy, while it takes 1−2 months for PTH to
reach normal levels.
Depending on the severity of the disease, it may
take 3 months for the normal serum ALP levels to
be restored and the radiological findings of rickets
to disappear.
!
In this treatment model, lack of compliance is an
important cause of lack of response
46. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
STOSS THERAPY
300,000–600,000 IU of Vitamin D
Are Administered Orally or
Intramuscularly As 2–4 Doses Over
1 Day.
!
Stoss Therapy Is Ideal in
Situations Where Adherence to
Therapy Is Questionable.
48. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
2. Stoss therapy
(single-day therapy)
For patients who are suspected to have poor
compliance, a high dose of vitamin D can be given
orally or intramuscularly as a single dose of 100
000−600 000 IU after the first month of life.
!
This dose is usually divided into 4 or 6 oral doses.
!
An intramuscular injection is also available.
49. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Stoss therapy
(single-day therapy)
Administration of 150 000−300 000 units of
vitamin D and 600 000 units (15,000 mcg) in
severe rickets is an effective and safe method of
treatment.
!
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is well stored in the
body and is gradually released over many weeks.
!
This treatment evokes a rapid clinical response,
resulting in biochemical recovery in a few days
and radiological recovery in 10−15 days.
51. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Single-day therapy avoids problems with
compliance and may be helpful in
differentiating nutritional rickets from
familial hypophosphatemia rickets (FHR).
!
In nutritional rickets, the phosphorus level
rises in 96 hours and radiographic healing is
visible in 6-7 days.
!
Neither happens with FHR.
52. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Vit D deficiency rickets –
1 alpha vit D3 or vit D2(arachitol) 6,00,000 IU
every two to three weeks IM 2 to 3 doses.
(STOSS REGIMEN)
!
VDDR 1 –!
1,25 vit D 0.25 to 1.0 mcg/day orally.
!
VDDR 2 –!
1,25 vit D or 1 alpha Vit D 6 mcg/kg/day
(total of 30 to 60 mcg orally) with calcium
supplements.
53. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHY
Low phospharous diet [low phosphate formulas to
infants].
Phosphate binders to enhance fecal excretion –
calcium carbonate & calcium acetate, newer non-
calcium based binders – sevelamer [Aluminum based
binders should be avoided].
!
Vit. D therapy :
If 25 (OH) D levels are low treat with ergocalciferol.
If 25 (OH) D levels are normal but PTH is high, treat
with calcitriol or 1,25 (OH) D 0.01-0.05 mg/kg/24hr

Pharmacologic Therapy
of Vit D ̶ resistant rickets
Familial hypophosphatemic rickets
Usual vitamin D preparations are not useful for
treatment in this disorder, because they lack significant
1-alpha-hydroxylase activity.
!
Original treatment protocols advocated vitamin D at
levels of 25,000-50,000 U/d (at the lower limit of
toxic dosage).
!
Amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide are administered
to enhance calcium reabsorption and to reduce the
risk of nephrocalcinosis.

Prevention
⦿ Exposure to ultraviolet rays in
sunshine (10 to 20 minutes/day).
!
⦿ Daily requirements of vitamin D are
400-800 i.u /day.
!
⦿ For low birth weight infants, and
patients of malnutrition or
hypothyroidism during receiving
their specific treatment, 1000-1500
i.u /day are needed for the
accelerated rate of growth.
69. Dr.Sandeep C Agrawal Agrasen Hospital Gondia India www.agrasenortho.com
Also with a perspective to prevent
early rickets, it is recommended that
vitamin D at a dose of 2000 IU/day
should be administered during the last
trimester of pregnancy to mothers
with poor exposure to sunlight due to
various reasons and who are at high
risk of Vitamin D deficiency.

The Endocrine Society recommends
(2011) :
The Endocrine Society, along with the Canadian Society of
Endocrinology and Metabolism and the National Osteoporosis
Foundation, published a clinical practice guideline in 2011 titled
"Evaluation, Treatment and Prevention of Vitamin D Deficiency."
!
400 IU (10 mcg) for children aged 0-1
year
600 IU/day (15 mcg) for children aged
1-18 years
1500-2000 IU for all men and women
older than 18 years, including lactating
and pregnant women whose infants are
not ingesting vitamin D.
