Dysplasia occurs when the bone tissue is replaced by fibrous tissue bone side. It may involve one or more bones of the body. In addition to two thirds of patients a bone is involved. Both sexes are also affected.
Rarely, it is considered as a State called McCune Albright syndrome. In this condition with dysplasia, there is an increase in pigmentation of the skin in places with other endocrine abnormalities such as early sexual development in children.
Is not thecause of dysplasia. It is thought to occur in the development of their baby in the uterus. In the formation of the fetus that a defect occurs in the DNA of the bone forming cells and this causes the formation of fibrous tissue instead of bone.
As fibrous tissue is lower than the bone tissue, where its presence in the bones causes their low become. These small bones are unable to resist the forces acting between them. Therefore, these bones are distorting and same fracture in normal daily activities.
Symptoms of can be asymptomatic or symptoms (discovered incidentally during the review of x-ray for certain other conditions) or there may be a deformation of the bone causing the blade seems abnormal in shape or cause a defect of gaitor can present as a fracture of the boneor there is perhaps just the bone pain
If associated with McCune Albright syndrome the initial presentation may be early development of secondary sex characteristics or abnormal vaginal bleeding among girls.These symptoms usually by the age of 8 to 10 years.
More commonly involved bone are bonebones bonetibia or shin femur, or thigh bone pelvisskullribshumerus or arm
Diagnosis is by rays x. sometimes the diagnosis is not clear on the x-ray. In such conditions, a biopsy may be necessary.
Treatment is by surgically removing the fibrous tissue and by filling the space by the bone from the patient's pelvic bone chips. Sometimes, if the defect is large then override an os available on the market is mixed with the bone chips. With time fragments of bone and bone substitute get incorporated into the defective bone and strengthen.
It is an x-ray of a patient showing a fracture through dysplasia. Fibrous tissue has been removed, bone graft was done and the fracture is stabilized with a plate and screws. The following x ray was taken after surgery.
Complications of dysplasia are
fracturesbone deformity causing a defective approach, reduced height and arthritis due to misalignment of the jointsabnormality vision and hearingrarely of the formation of cancer can occur.In this condition fractures will heal easily. Fractures can be fixed surgically with a plate and screws or other devices simultaneously fibrous tissue can be removed and the defect of bone chips.
Correct deformation can surgically correct approach, improve the height and prevent arthritis by properly aligning joints.
Can I pass this condition to my children?
You can not pass this condition to your children that it is not inherited, but occurred because of the irregularity of the DNA during the development of a bone. This failure to present vice in the remaining cells of your body.
I dysplasia but no symptoms. Do I need treatment?
You do need no treatment.
