AI Article Synopsis
- Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder that makes bones dense but fragile due to issues with osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone.
- Patients with this condition may require total knee arthroplasty to relieve pain and improve mobility caused by osteoarthrosis.
- The article presents a case report of a patient with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis undergoing knee surgery, highlighting the lack of existing literature on anesthesia for these patients and discussing implications for future care.
Article Abstract
Autosomal dominant or benign osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder of osteoclasts that results in dense but brittle bone structures. Patients with osteopetrosis may be scheduled for total knee arthroplasty to treat painful and functionally limiting osteoarthrosis. A search of the published literature produced no citation concerning anesthesia for patients with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis undergoing total knee arthroplasty. We present a case report detailing our experience and discuss considerations for the care of future patients with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis.
