<unk>  is a general term for a disorder of the development (dysplasia) of bone ("osteo") and cartilage ("chondro").<unk> s are rare diseases. About 1 in 5,000 babies are born with some type of skeletal dysplasia. Nonetheless, if taken collectively, genetic skeletal dysplasias or<unk> s comprise a recognizable group of genetically determined disorders with generalized skeletal affection.<unk> s can result in marked functional limitation and even mortality.<unk> s subtypes can overlap in clinical aspects, therefore plain radiography is absolutely necessary to establish an accurate diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging can provide further diagnostic insights and guide treatment strategies especially in cases of spinal involvement. Early diagnosis, and timely management of skeletal dysplasia are important to combat functional deterioration.
