Abstract

Bone dysplasias are a broad group of conditions in which skeletal development and function are disturbed. They include the chondrodysplasias and osteochondroses discussed in this chapter, as well as osteodysplasias, such as osteogenesis imperfecta syndromes (discussed in Chapter 31), and many others that are either extremely rare or of little relevance to rheumatology.
