  • Title: Diagnostic imaging update in skeletal dysplasias.
    Author: Dominguez R, Talmachoff P.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 1993; 17(3):222-34. PubMed ID: 8364797.
    Abstract:
    The mystique of bone dysplasias is gradually vanishing. A short historical overview introduces the subject of short stature. The pathogenesis and controversial classification of skeletal dysplasias are discussed and summarized in two tables; the use of different imaging modalities is laid out along the sequential diagnostic approach and review of common orthopedic complications. References to such advances in treatment as bone marrow transplantation, bone lengthening, and the encouraging positive effect of growth hormone therapy complete this updated revision.
