  • Arthritic rheumatoid disease

    Arthritis is a disease that affects your joints and causes pain, swelling, and stiffness. There are many different types of arthritis, but the most common type is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear on the joints over time. It's more common in older people, but it can happen at any age. Osteoarthritis can also be caused by injury or repetitive stress on the joints. 1. The most common medication i  Read More

  • Baller gerold syndrome

    Children with BGS are born with premature closure of the joints or seams (sutures) of the skull. This causes an upward growth of the head giving it a pointed or cone-shaped appearance. The large bone of the forearm on the “pinky” side (ulnar) is short and curved and the short bone of the forearm on the thumb side (radius) is underdeveloped or missing. These skeletal abnormalities may be present on both sides or just one (asymmetric  Read More

  • Campomelic syndrome

    Campomelic syndrome is a rare birth defect that affects the development of the bones and muscles. It can affect one or both sides of the body, but it's most often seen in the lower legs. The bones in the lower leg are shorter than normal and often bowed. The foot may also be turned inward. This condition can also cause problems with muscle development and function, including weakness of the thigh muscles, hip joint problems, a  Read More

  • Campomelic syndrome, long-limb type

    Campomelic syndrome, long-limb type, is a rare disorder that affects the bones, muscles and cartilage. Symptoms of this condition include abnormal facial features, abnormal hand structure and abnormal joint development. It can also lead to limb deformities, such as clubfoot or curved fingers. In some cases, the affected person may have only one hand with a shortened ulna (forearm bone). There are no known causes f  Read More

  • Camptomelic syndrome, long-limb type

    Camptomelic syndrome, long-limb type is a rare genetic disorder that affects your child's growth and development. The cause of camptomelic syndrome, long-limb type is unknown.

These mutations are passed down from parents to their children through genes on chromosomes 6 and 11. Camptomelic syndrome, long-limb type affects both males  Read More

  • Degenerative disc disease and sciatica

    Degenerative disc disease is a condition caused by the wearing down of the discs in your spine. The discs are cushions between each vertebrae that help absorb shock and keep bones separated, but as they get older, they become less effective at doing this.Sciatica is a painful condition caused by compression of the nerve root at the lower end of your spine. This can cause pain or tingling in one or both legs, which is often worse wh  Read More

  • Dmc syndrome

    Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen (DMC) syndrome is a rare, progressive genetic disorder characterized by abnormal skeletal development, microcephaly and intellectual disability. The condition was first reported by Dyggve, Melchior and Clausen in 1962 in three of eight siblings where the father was the mother's paternal uncle. Because of physical appearance and the present of acid mucopolysaccharides in the urine, Dyggve believed that their affected pat  Read More

  • Flatfoot (pes planus)

    Flatfoot (pes planus), commonly called flat feet, is a relatively common foot deformity. A flat foot is defined by the loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot where it contacts or nearly contacts the ground. The arch connects the forefoot and hindfoot and is formed of elastic ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Its function is to store mechanical energy within the stretched elastic ligaments during the gait cycle. A flat  Read More

  • Hypermobility syndrome

    Hypermobility syndrome is a group of hereditary connective tissue disorders that causes skin hyperelasticity, hypermobility of joints, atrophic scarring, and fragility of blood vessels. People with hypermobile joints don’t have other symptoms, so they don’t need treatment for their condition. However, you should see a doctor if you have pain in the loose joint during or after movement, sudden cha  Read More

  • Iliotibial band syndrome (it band syndrome)

    Iliotibial band syndrome (it band syndrome) is an inflammatory disease caused by prolonged and rapid cycling of the knee through extension (straightening of the leg) and flexion. Treatment is of two types: non-operative and surgical treatment.1. Non-operative treatmentForemost, the affected person must refrain from activities that involve the knees.•Intermittent cryotherapy helps alle  Read More

  • Ischemic necrosis of bone

    Ischemic necrosis of bone is a degenerative condition of the bone characterized by the death of cellular components of the bone secondary to an interruption of the subchondral blood supply. It is also known as aseptic necrosis, avascular necrosis, and osteonecrosis. It primarily affects the tips of the long bones at weight-bearing joints. The commonly affected sites are the hip, femoral head, knee, talus, and humeral head.  Read More

  • Knee bursitis

    Knee bursitis is a condition that causes pain, swelling, and inflammation in the knee. It is caused by the buildup of fluid in the bursa, which is a fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction between bones and joints. Medications for knee bursitis are all about reducing inflammation. 1. The first line of treatment is usually ibuprofen, which comes in pill form or as a gel that you can rub on your ski  Read More

  • Knee injury

    Knee injury facts The knee is one of the most common body parts to be injured. Types of knee injuries include sprains, strains, bursitis, dislocations, fractures, meniscus tears, and overuse injuries. Knee injuries are generally caused by twisting or bending force applied to the knee, or a direct blow, such as from sports, falls, or accidents. Risk factors for knee injury include overuse, improper t  Read More

  • Kniest chondrodystrophy

    There is no cure for Kniest chondrodystrophy, but there are some medications that can help control symptoms.

Doctors will also often prescribe pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help manage symptoms like joint pain and stiffness. Treatment options include surgery,  Read More

  • Kniest dysplasia

    Kniest dysplasia is one of several forms of dwarfism that is caused by a change (mutation) in a gene known as COL2A1. This gene is involved in the production of a particular protein that forms type 2 collagen, which is essential for the normal development of bones and other connective tissue. Changes in the composition of type 2 collagen lead to abnormal skeletal growth and, thus, to a variety of dwarfing conditions known as skeletal dysplasia  Read More

  • Marfanoid hypermobility syndrome

    Marfanoid hypermobility syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the connective tissue in the body. In many ways, it resembles the more common Marfan syndrome. However, while Marfan syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that can cause serious health problems and even death, marfanoid hypermobility syndrome is much less severe—it's estimated that fewer than 1% of people with Marfan syndrome actually have this condition.  Read More
