Abstract

In primary hyperparathyroidism, bone remodeling is increased due to an enhanced activation frequency which is caused by excessive PTH. In mild cases, eroded, osteoid and labeled surfaces are increased. But as bone balance per remodeling cycle in cancellous bone is zero or even slightly positive, bone volume and structure are relatively maintained. In advanced cases, bone resorption is predominant in the endosteal surface of cortical bone, resulting in progressive thinning and increased porosity, cancellisation. As far cancellous bone resorption depth is deepened to occur trabecular perforation associated with fibrous tissue replacement, osteitis fibrosa.
