Abstract
Skeletal dysplasias represent a heterogeneous group of over 500 genetic disorders affecting the growth, development, and structural integrity of bone and cartilage. Hip deformities in skeletal dysplasia (S.D) represent a significant challenge in pediatric orthopaedic practice. They significantly impact mobility and quality of life in children with S.D. Despite advances in surgical techniques and implant technology, patients with skeletal dysplasia continue to face higher complication rates and more challenging management decisions.
Early identification and intervention can prevent progressive deformity and secondary complications. A multidisciplinary approach combining careful preoperative planning, specialised surgical techniques, and dedicated rehabilitation protocols offers the best opportunity to optimise outcome.
Keywords: Skeletal Dysplasia, Hip deformities, Natural History, Management, Outcomes.
