Define Dysplasia
Condition affecting growth or development

due to intrinsic defect (genetics)
What are the two types of skeletal deformity and what is their difference?
Disproportionate
(Trunk & Extremities unequally affected)

Proportionate
(Trunk & Extremities equally affected)
What is the most common form of skeletal Dysplasia?
Dwarfism
What is the most common form of Dwarfism?
Achondroplasia
What type of dysplasia is attributed to achondroplasia?
Disproportionate dysplasia
What is the etiology of Achondroplasia?
Point mutation in the gene encoding Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3 (FGFR3)
T/F - Achondroplasia affects intermembranous ossification of the bones.
False. It affects the endochondral ossification (where pre-formed cartilage is replaced by calcification)
What are the characteristics of achondroplasia? x3
Spinal stenosis
Trident hand
Disproportionate dwarfism
Define dystrophy
Condition affecting growth/development due to extrinsic factors (malnutrition, hormone, or metabolism)
What is the etiology of Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy?
Abnormality in gene encoding DYSTROPHIN
What are the clinical symptoms of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy starting at birth.
Normal at birth

Symptoms appear at approximately 18 months
(Calf pseudohypertrophy)
(Gower's manuever)
Osteogenesis Imperfecta

- etiology
Connective tissue disorder due to mutations in gene for Type I collagen
What are the symptoms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta? x3
Blue Sclerae
Abnormal Dentinogenesis
Bone fragility = multiple fx
What are the most common childhood deformities?
In-toeing & out-toeing
In-toeing:

- AKA
- etiology
- prognosis
Metatarsus Adductus

Packaging defect in the womb

90% will spontaneously heal
Clubfoot:

- AKA
- characteristics x3
- etiology
- treatment
Talipes Equinovarus

Plantar flexion (equinus)
Forefoot adductus
Heel varus

Germ plasm defect

Manipulation/Casting
Surgery
Femoral Anteversion:

- character
- prognosis
Internal rotation of hip

Spontaneously heal 6-8 years
Tibial Torsion

- character
- prognosis
Lateral malleolus is anterior or in the same plane as medial malleolus.
(normally, lateral malleolus is posterior to medial malleolus)

Spontaneously heals
At what age is in-toeing normal for children and why?
Prior to age four, it is normal

Femoral anteversion & tibial torsion
Flatfoot:

- AKA
- Character
- Assessment test?
- Prognosis
- Treatment
Pes Plano Valgus

Absent longitudinal arch

Flexibility test

Arch won't be there ever

If arch seen in flexibility test, then no treatment.

If no arch seen in flexibility test, then possible surgery due to
