-
Osteogenesis imperfecta, also called brittle bone disease, is a bone disorder that results in imperfectly formed bones which are fragile and break easily.
-
Skeletal dysplasia, also called osteochondrodysplasia, is the term used for growth or developmental disorders of the bone and cartilage.
-
Arthrogryposis is a term used to describe a variety of conditions characterized by multiple joint contractures and abnormally developed muscles affecting two or more areas of the body at birth.
-
Limb lengthening is a reconstructive procedure where the deformed bone is straightened or missing bone is replaced.
-
The femur also called the thighbone, is the long bone present in your legs. It connects the hip and the knee joint. Congenital femoral deficiency is a rare disorder of the lower limbs affecting young children.
-
Fibular hemimelia is a rare birth defect affecting the lower limbs, particularly beneath the knee. In this condition, the child is born with a shorter than normal or missing fibula (calf bone).
-
Hypochondroplasia is a genetic skeletal disorder that affects the normal conversion of cartilage into bone. The disorder is characterized by small stature, stocky build, enlarged head, and disproportionately short limbs and extremities.
-
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare genetic disorder that affects bone and tooth development.
-
Pseudoachondroplasia is a form of dwarfism. It is a rare inherited disorder that affects bone growth. People with pseudoachondroplasia have a normal head size, intelligence, and facial features. However, they are small in stature - typically under 4 feet tall for both men and women.
-
Diastrophic dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects one’s ability to form cartilage and bones causing abnormal bone growth and dwarfism (short stature).
-
Multiple hereditary exostoses is a rare genetic condition in which an individual develops multiple bone tumors called osteochondromas, often on the growing ends of long bones or on the hips or shoulder blades.
-
Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia is a rare condition that usually occurs in the first 2 years of life. In this condition, the tibia or shinbone is weak and undergoes fractures spontaneously or due to minor injury.
