osteodystrophy Med.|ɒstiːəʊˈdɪstrəfɪ| Also as mod.L. -dystrophia. [f. (in Ger.) as mod.L. osteodystrophia (J. von Mikulicz 1905, in Verhandl. d. Ges. deutsch. Naturforscher und Ärzte LXXVI. ii. Med. Abt. 108), f. osteo- + dystrophia s.v. dys-: see -y3.] Any of several disorders affecting the whole skeleton in which there is defective bone development owing to a badly balanced diet or faulty metabolism; spec. one in which there is increased resorption of bone and its replacement by fibrous and poorly mineralized tissue, producing skeletal pain and brittle bones, which are often enlarged and deformed in the young; it occurs in animals, esp. horses, as a result of too high a ratio of dietary phosphorus to calcium (osteodystrophia fibrosa [coined in Ger. by T. Stenholm in Pathologisch-anat. Studien über die Osteodystrophia Fibrosa (1924) 90]), and in man in association with chronic renal insufficiency and hyperparathyroidism (renal osteodystrophy).

As they are disorders of the growth of bone they may be considered together under the heading of the osteodystrophies. 1953Jrnl. Path. & Bacteriol.

Jennings Animal Path. xii. 233 Equine osteodystrophia fibrosa arises if horses are fed on a diet containing large quantities of bran which is rich in phosphorus. The same situation is sometimes seen in pigs... In dogs, however, the prime cause is renal insufficiency with secondary hyperparathyroidism. 1974Passmore & Robson Compan. Med. Stud.
