Approach to a patient with Dwarfism
Young boy or a girl
height stunted
Ratio of upper and lower body height proportion normal or not (normally 1:1)
LE reaches upto middle thigh or down ?
proportion of arm and forearms looks normal
fingers shape is normal
lower extremity look shorter
alignment of LE on a photo shows multiplanar deformity of leg with anterior bowing and areas of flattening anateroposteriorly on leg
knee and hip are at flexion attitude ,
Intelligence - normal
Eye sight - normal
head ,neck examination - frontal bossing , sclera color , dentition , neck webbing ,
chest any signgs or deformity , belly protuded or not , umbilical hernia or not ,
back - kyphoscoliosis or not , dimpling of hair or not , any swellings on upper or lower extremities
gives a clue to plan and proceed further
Impression
Rickets
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
will have history of reccurent fractures with trivial trauma ,
family history
eyes color might be different , poor dentition
Polyostotic Fibrous Dyslplasia
dont have recurrent history of fracture ,
leonine faces ,
Mc Cune Albright Syndrome - precocious puberty and deformity
How to say deformity is on tibia ?
does not correct with flexion of knee
How to proceed ?
Serum Calcium , Alkaline Phosphatase , Phosphorous Level
Orthoscanogram
Xray of affected parts
Biopsy
Management ?
Coxa Vara and femoral medial bowing
open multiple osteotomies
William's technique of Multiple Osteotomies
closed percutaneous osteotomy
fixation ( rush nail / LC-DCP in neutralization mode to prevent rotation )
same for bowing of tibia
Classification of Osteogenesis Imperfecta - very important .
