Q: What is the first change to appear in Rickets & which is the first finding of healing Rickets?

A: The first changes of rickets appear in rapidly growing distal ends of ulna & radius (wrist & knee are commonly involved due to more use). Rarefaction of provisional zone of calcification with widening of epiphysis-diaphysis distance is first to appear. Following treatment there is ossification of provisional zone of calcification.

However, early signs of Rickets should be always looked for e.g. On chest X-ray, humoral head may show certain early radiological changes.
