Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The aim of this Special Issue, “Diagnosis and Management of Bone Diseases”, is to focus on diagnosis and up-to-date management of major bone diseases that are associated with bone fragility, including nutritional rickets, hypophosphatemic rickets, osteogenesis imperfecta, Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, Marfan's syndrome, Paget’s disease, hypophosphatasia, osteopetrosis, osteomalacia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bone cancer and other related conditions. 

I would like to extend an invitation on behalf of the Editorial Board for you to submit original research papers, review articles, compelling case studies, and descriptions of diagnostic procedures for consideration and potential publication.

Studies that deepen the understanding of new diagnostic mechanisms and novel management approaches are especially welcome. We welcome researchers to discuss the benefits of cutting-edge diagnostic techniques as well as the drawbacks of established diagnostic procedures in bone pathology. Reports on the treatment and care given to patients by multidisciplinary teams are also of interest. 

We especially appreciate innovations in basic science and molecular genetics that provide powerful new diagnostic approaches for specific bone diseases. 

In this Special Issue, we aim to address these fascinating areas, which are the major ongoing challenges in the diagnosis and management of bone diseases.

Dr. Jose M. Moran
Guest Editor

Septic arthritis is a life-threatening rheumatological syndrome that is highly related to a patient’s immune status and comorbidities, and although the most common clinical presentation is rapid-onset monoarthritis, it can also appear as subacute or chronic joint swelling. In these cases, differential diagnosis is more challenging, but early diagnosis and treatment is no less urgent to ensure a good global prognosis and the best outcome of the affected joint. Anaerobic microorganisms, such as Parvimonas micra, are an uncommon cause of septic arthritis (less than 5% of cases) but may be the cause of subacute arthritis. Knowledge about Parvimonas micra is important, as it is difficult to culture in the laboratory and generates a synovial fluid with atypical characteristics for septic arthritis so that, if not suspected, its diagnosis can be easily overlooked and underdiagnosed. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman with subacute arthritis of the left knee, describe the difficult diagnosis and treatment of its unexpected cause (Parvimonas micra), and review previously described cases, identifying the possible common comorbidities that may help clinicians easily find and treat this cause of subacute septic arthritis.
