Skeletal dysplasias, also known as osteochondrodysplasias, are a heterogeneous group of heritable disorders characterized by abnormalities of cartilage and bone growth, resulting in abnormal shape and size of the skeleton and disproportion of the long bones, spine, and head. (medscape.com)
Typified by short stature (defined as height that is three or more standard deviations below the mean height for age), skeletal dysplasias can be accompanied by involvement of other systems, including the neurologic, respiratory, and cardiac systems. (medscape.com)
Note short-limbed skeletal dysplasia, deformed extremities, and relatively large head. (medscape.com)

Shriners Children's supports families and provides full service care to children with skeletal dysplasia conditions. (shrinerschildrens.org)
Skeletal dysplasia is an umbrella term for more than 400 hundred rare conditions which cause a child's bones and cartilage (connective tissue) to develop differently. (shrinerschildrens.org)
These conditions are overwhelming for new or expectant parents, but Shriners Children's, as one of the largest pediatric orthopedic healthcare systems, has specialized teams and support services to help children with skeletal dysplasia enjoy healthy, full lives. (shrinerschildrens.org)
Below are some of the common skeletal dysplasia conditions treated at Shriners Children's. (shrinerschildrens.org)
We recognize that caring for a child with skeletal dysplasia requires a team approach. (shrinerschildrens.org)

Note disproportionately short stature with mesomelic shortening and deformities of forearms and legs (in mesomelic dysplasia) and short forearms with Madelung-type deformity (in Leri-Weill syndrome). (medscape.com)

Progressive skeletal dysplasia (dysostosis multiplex) involving all bones is universal, as is progressive arthropathy involving most joints. (beds.ac.uk)
Perinatal1
Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is a short-limb skeletal dysplasia that is usually lethal in the perinatal period. (nih.gov)
Disorder1
BACKGROUND: Rhizomelic limb shortening with dysmorphic features (RLSDF) has already been a disorder of the rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia, just having a few reported cases. (bvsalud.org)
