Abstract
A 27-year-old man with polysubstance abuse including methamphetamine, fentanyl, and 1.5 years of electronics compressed gas duster inhalation presented following an assault. Radiologic imaging performed for suspected fractures revealed periosteal reaction, cortical thickening with increased bone density, and ligament and tendon ossification, which were not present on imaging obtained 3 years before presentation. A bone scan was subsequently performed revealing a metabolic superscan with cortical irregularity. Further investigation revealed skeletal fluorosis from electronics compressed gas duster inhalation. Skeletal fluorosis may be considered when these osseous findings are encountered.
