Abstract
The majority of the inherited skeletal dysplasias are rare, and until recently they have been grouped into general categories rather than delineated into specific disorders. The realisation that the recognition and accurate definition of individual abnormalities facilitates satisfactory management and prognostication, has led to increased efforts towards the separation and precise identification of individual syndromes.
