BACKGROUND: Mechanical loading and alendronate (ALN) can be used as noninvasive physical therapy methods for osteoarthritis (OA). However, the timing and efficacy for treatments are unknown. PURPOSE: To determine whether the timing of mechanical loading and ALN influences the pathobiological changes of OA. STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study. METHODS: Mice with OA induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection were subjected to early (1-3 weeks) or late (5-7 weeks) axial compressive dynamic load or intraperitoneal injection of ALN...

We report here a case of sternoclavicular arthritis due to SAPHO syndrome in a 60-year-old female in which quantitative values determined using bone SPECT/CT were useful to evaluate response. After celecoxib and alendronate sodium hydrate therapy, the chief complaints were well relieved and post-treatment Tc-99m HMDP bone SPECT/CT examination showed decreased uptake. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUV), peak SUV, mean SUV, metabolic bone volume, and total bone uptake of the untreated lesion were 18, 16, 10, 17 mL, and 180, respectively, which were decreased to 8, 7, 5, 15 mL, and 75, respectively, after the treatment...

We present a case of polyarticular synovitis following alendronate treatment for osteoporosis. The patient had no evidence of rheumatoid arthritis, pyrophosphate arthropathy, or seronegative/seropositive arthritis. Our main aim in this study is to highlight the potential adverse effects of alendronate and to warn orthopedic surgeons about the possibility of such a side effect that might lead orthopedic surgeons to administer wrong and unnecessary treatments like arthrocentesis. The withdrawal of alendronate is found to be the treatment of choice...

Mechanism of generalized osteoporosis associated with rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is multifactorial and following factors has been proposed:systemic effect of RA synovitis, glucocorticoids, weight loss, and endocrine changes. In addition to control of RA inflammation and management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis(GIO), antiresorptive therapy, such as bisphosphonates is expected to show efficacy. Recently, anti-RANKL monoclonal antibodies have been shown to inhibit bone erosion and bone loss in combination with methotrexate in RA...

The aim of this study was to report on a rare case of Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis. The patient was a 54-year-old woman with a history of treatment for lupus using corticoids for 20 years, and for osteoporosis using alendronate for five years. She presented edema and developed a limitation of left knee movement one year earlier, with mild effusion and pain on metaphyseal palpation, but without fever. She was in a good general state, without local secretion. Images of her knee showed trabecular osteolysis of the distal metaphysis of the femur and a periosteal reaction in both proximal tibias and both distal femurs, compatible with chronic osteomyelitis of low virulence and slow progression...

The present study reports a rare case of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome in an adult male. The 42-year-old man complained of skin lesions, chest pain and lumbago. Laboratory evaluations demonstrated an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and increased levels of C-reactive protein. Computerized tomography, bone scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple bone lesions. A diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome was made. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alendronate sodium and steroids were administered, which resulted in clinical improvement...

The SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) includes a group of findings characterized by bone lesions usually located on the anterior chest wall, often associated with skin lesions. We report the case of a 47 years old patient, with osteochondritis at costoesternal and manubrium-sternal joints, besides of palmar-plantar pustulosis. The diagnosis is predominantly clinical and there are several treatment options described in the literature.

SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) is a rare disease. Presently, there is no treatment guideline for this illness. Several studies suggested entercept, a novel biological agent against tumor necrosis factor-alpha, is effective in treating SAPHO syndrome. We report a case in which the clinical conditions of a middle-aged female patient diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome, with noted spinal disorder, improved significantly after receiving entercept treatment. The patient remained stable after 3-month follow-up...

We describe 7 cases of synovitis or arthritis occurring after commencement of alendronate for treatment of osteoporosis. These were cases from our practice or notified to the New Zealand Pharmacovigilance Centre, Dunedin, New Zealand. There was no evidence of rheumatoid arthritis, pyrophosphate arthropathy, or seronegative arthritis in any patient. Symptoms recurred on rechallenge in 5 of the cases. We conclude alendronate should be considered as a possible cause of synovitis or polyarthritis in patients treated with it in the absence of any other pathology...

A 62-year-old, previously healthy woman diagnosed with post-menopausal osteoporosis received alendronate 70 mg/week. One week after the first dose, she developed polyarticular synovitis in the hands, feet and knees. We suspect this to be an adverse reaction to alendronate. At follow-up after 14 months, the patient still had residual synovitis, mainly in the hands and finger joints, despite continued low-dose prednisolone therapy. Two additional cases of synovitis associated with bisphosphonate therapy have been reported in the literature...

HISTORY AND ADMISSION FINDINGS: A 63-year-old female painter was referred for evaluation of the cause of persistent back pain, night sweat and an elevated blood sedimentation rate. Besides, she reported recurrent, probably "atopic eczema" of both hands. Clinical examination revealed midthoracic back pain but no actual skin lesions. INVESTIGATIONS: Contrast medium-enhanced magnetic resonance tomography of the spine showed an increased signal intensity of the thoracic vertebral bodies 6 - 10 and the prevertebral soft tissue in T1-weighted images with fat suppression...
