What is bone dysplasia?
In medicine, bone dysplasia is a condition characterized by abnormal bone growth, more often in children. There are many varieties of bone dysplasia, many of which are caused by genetic disorders or disorders in blood growth hormones. They are also often referred to as skeletal dysplasia. Sometimes these growth disorders can lead to other problems such as limb deformities that make movement more difficult, and spine deformities such as scoliosis. Achondroplasia is the most common form of what is commonly referred to as a dwarf. This bone disorder is the result of a genetic mutation in a gene that controls bone growth. The symptoms of very short limbs and an unusual structure of the face with long forehead and low nose are recognized. The length of the spine in individuals suffering from achonemdropic is usually normal and, in addition to deformities in the skeletal system, these individuals often experience average health. The limbs are mainly affected, and the face structure seems to be much closer to normal than in achondroplasia. Although bothThe syndromes are caused by genetic mutation, it seems not related and is responsible for achondroplasia a completely different gene than that for hypochondroplasia.
where bone dysplasia is the result of genetic mutation, as is the case with most patients, the treatment is limited to the extent. Administration of hormonal drugs to stimulate growth may have a beneficial effect if it is done when a patient is a child. Another treatment performed is the surgical extension of the limbs. This is a complex and lengthy procedure that includes the use of bone grafts and metal boards. This can lead to infection and various complications and require more operations.
In many patients, bone dysplasia treatment is limited to the treatment of medical complications and lifestyle problems that result from the disorder. Complications may include back pain, numbness in the limbs, joint pain and sometimes hearing loss due to bone dysp effectLazia on the skull and bony structures of the ear. As with all health conditions, the specific advice of the physician is necessary to determine your own condition and potential available treatment.
