[Spinal problems in persons with skeletal dysplasias]
Abstract
Most skeletal dysplasias are characterized by small stature. Less well known is the fact that most skeletal dysplasias are also associated with specific spinal problems or deformities. This article summarizes the various aspects of spinal problems in this patient population as well as the diagnostic strategies and current and new treatment options.
