Epiphyseal Dysplasia

Epiphyseal dysplasia is a genetic disorder affecting the development of the ends of long bones, called epiphyses, which form joints. This abnormal development can lead to joint pain, irregular or small joints, and stature differences. The condition may cause early joint degeneration and mobility challenges. It varies in severity and type, sometimes associated with other skeletal abnormalities. Since it involves cartilage and bone growth, early diagnosis and management are important to improve function and quality of life. It's a rare condition that requires medical evaluation by specialists in bone and joint disorders.
