Abstract

Limb deficiency disorders encompass a wide variety of congenital anomalies that have a significant underdevelopment or even complete absence of bones in the limbs. Treatment of these conditions must be holistic with the child at the centre. This article provides a review of the current understanding of the management of such conditions. Surgical treatment offers a practical and effective solution for treating many variants of congenital limb abnormalities. Although novel surgical treatments may expand the range of disorders that can be treated, it is crucial for both the surgeon and the family to be aware of the careful prognosis associated with the methods used. Additionally, the importance of an amputation as an option should always be kept under consideration.

Abstract

Skeletal dysplasia in children is sometimes associated with severe coronal plane angulations around the knee. The associated ligament laxity adds to the complexity of surgical correction. Osteotomies require precise surgical planning and execution. Hemiepiphyseodesis is usually employed only in mild and moderate deformity. Distraction osteogenesis method is labour intensive, costly and requires a prolonged treatment course. We describe an innovative surgical technique which combines hemiepiphysiodesis using tension-band plates and a metaphyseal osteotomy. The technique utilises acute bony correction by osteotomy followed by residual correction, if any and soft tissue fine tuning through growth modulation. Growth modulation also addresses recurrence to some extent. The surgical technique is described along with illustrative case examples.

Abstract

Dysosteosclerosis (DOS) is a rare inherited sclerosing bone disorder caused by lack of osteoclast differentiation. A nine-month-old infant presented with a past history of pathological fracture, developmental delay and facial dysmorphisms. The sclerotic radiographic changes along with histologically observed increased bone deposition on clavicular bone biopsy led to the initial suspicion of osteopetrosis. However, a genetic analysis revealed a mutation in the SLC29A3 gene confirming the diagnosis of DOS. Due to the close clinical and radiological resemblance most infants with DOS are misdiagnosed as osteopetrosis, a related skeletal dysplasia. The presence of purplish skin rash, platyspondyly on radiographs and absence of bone marrow involvement differentiates DOS from the latter. Treatment is supportive and overall prognosis is poor with the eventual neurological deterioration and recurrent fractures.
