Abstract

Skeletal Dysplasia encompasses a diverse group of genetic conditions that predominantly affect bone and cartilage formation. The clinical assessment of these conditions requires a detailed family history to assess the genetic inheritance patterns and physical examination of the limb length discrepancies, joint laxity, spinal alignment, and gait abnormalities to identify deviations from normal skeletal development. Pharmacological therapy consists of Bisphosphonates to improve the bone density in conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta. Surgical procedures include Growth modulation techniques, limb lengthening procedures, corrective osteotomies and joint reconstructions. A Detailed genetic counselling is key to parents with a history of skeletal dysplasia in the family to assess recurrence risks, explore reproductive options, and guide personalized treatment strategies. With advancements in gene therapy, 3D navigation and patient specific implants and prosthesis there is a promising future in the management of limb deformities in Skeletal dysplasia

Abstract

Radiological diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias in children relies on early recognition of disproportionate growth and characteristic imaging patterns across the skeleton. Skeletal dysplasias are a heterogenous group of genetic disorders of bone and cartilage with a combined birth prevalence of around 1 in 5,000 births. Early radiographic identification guides surveillance for spinal stenosis, craniovertebral anomalies, hip dysplasia and blood disorders. It also supports genetic counselling and, in some conditions, allows targeted therapies such as enzyme replacement or growth-modifying treatment. This chapter outlines key clinical clues that should alert paediatric orthopaedic surgeons to an underlying skeletal dysplasia and summarises indications and techniques for a dedicated dysplasia skeletal survey, including bone age assessment and targeted supplementary views. Furthermore, core radiological terminology and measurements used to describe disproportions and dysplastic change, are received to support systematic pattern recognition. The chapter then describes the principal clinical and radiological hallmarks of common dysplasias relevant to paediatric orthopaedic practice, including achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia, pseudoachondroplasia and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, diastrophic dysplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, sclerosing bone dysplasias, mucopolysaccharidoses and metaphyseal chondrodysplasias, highlighting key differential diagnoses and red flag complications. The role of advanced imaging, particularly at the craniovertebral junction, cervical spine and hips is emphasised where there is risk of cord compression, atlantoaxial instability or early degenerative change. Finally, the importance of multidisciplinary assessment, integrating clinical genetics, endocrinology, radiology, anesthesia and surgical specialties is stressed to minimise misdiagnosis and optimise long-term functional outcomes. Prenatal ultrasound and cross sectional imaging features that raise suspicion of skeletal dysplasia are summarised, underscoring opportunities for early counselling, delivery planning and postnatal evaluation.
