Return to Table of Contents * Progressive Diaphyseal Dysplasia (Camurati-Engelmann disease) * Avascular necrosis * Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED, or Fairbank's disease) I'm 39 years old and have suffered from a very rare genetic bone disease called Progressive Diaphyseal Dysplasia (Camurati-Engelmann disease) for 20 years. I've tried to research this disease several times with very limited results. Is there any research at all any where being conducted to understand the mechanics behind this disease? And, are there any treatments experimental or otherwise besides morphine and steroids? The most recent paper I can find on your illness was published in November 2000, but there seems to be researchers in several areas of the world interested in the disease (which is a good sign!)

29. The Bone Disorders Clinic The bone disorders Clinic. Specify that you would like to be seen in the BoneDisorders Clinic. Maps and hotel information are available upon request. http://genetics.cwru.edu/bone/boneclinic.htm

The Bone Disorders Clinic Organized through the Center for Human Genetics and the Department of Orthopaedics of University Hospitals of Cleveland, in Cleveland, Ohio, the Bone Disorders Clinic offers comprehensive diagnosis, treatment and management for patients with hereditary/familial bone disorders. Because more than 200 hereditary disorders affecting skeletal development have been identified, an accurate diagnosis is essential for optimal patient care. Therefore, orthopedic surgeons and geneticists work together to determine the diagnosis and formulate an optimal plan for treatment. Frequently Asked Questions WHO IS APPROPRIATE FOR REFERRAL TO THE CLINIC? Any patient with a genetic or familial bone disorder of known or unknown cause Any patient with short stature of unknown cause or unusual skeletal deformity Any patient with a history of repeated fractures or sites of bony overgrowth. CAN MY CHILD or MY PATIENT COME IF THEY ALREADY HAVE A DIAGNOSIS? Yes. Perhaps you and your managing physicians would benefit from a second opinion or management input. Some families choose to come once. Others prefer to be followed by our professionals annually. WHO SEES PATIENTS AND WHAT DO THEY DO?

Bone Disorders Giantism is a condition of abnormally increased height that usually results from excessive cartilage and bone formation at the epiphyseal plates of long bones. The most common type of giantism, pituitary giantism, results from excess secretion of pituitary growth hormone. However, the large stature of some individuals can result from genetic factors rather than from abnormal levels of growth hormone. Acromegaly (ak'ro-meg'al-e) is also caused by excess pituitary growth hormone secretion. However, acromegaly involves growth of connective tissue, including bones, after the epiphyseal plates have ossified. The effect mainly involves increased diameter of all bones and is most strikingly apparent in the face and hands. Many pituitary giants also develop acromegaly later in life. Dwarfism, the condition in which a person is abnormally short, is the opposite of giantism. Pituitary dwarfism results when abnormally low levels of pituitary growth hormone affect the whole body, thus producing a small person who is normally proportioned. Achondroplastic (a-kon'dro-plas'tik) dwarfism, involving a disproportionate shortening of the long bones, is more common than proportionate dwarfing and produces a person with a nearly normal-sized trunk and head but shorter-than-normal limbs. Most cases of achondroplastic dwarfism are the result of genetic defects that cause deficient or improper growth of the cartilage model, especially the epiphyseal plate, and often involve deficient collagen synthesis. Often the cartilage matrix does not have its normal integrity, and the chondrocytes of the epiphysis cannot form their normal columns, even through rates of cell proliferation may be normal.

Healthy Kids Osteoporosis, Low Back Pain, and Other Bone Disorders (From the PDR Family Guide to Prescription Drugs Chapter 4) he human skeleton is an intricate framework of 206 bones that give the body its structure and shape. These bones serve as armor for vital organs and soft tissue, a storehouse for minerals, and a birthplace for blood cells. Together, the bones act in concert with the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissue to give humans an amazing range of movement. Most bone diseases are rare, but a few pose serious health problems. Osteoporosis, for example, is a progressive loss of bone substance that affects about 25 million Americans, mostly postmenopausal caucasian women. Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is widespread among people over 40. (See Chapter 3, "Coping with Arthritis.") Low back pain, which often results from slipped vertebrae or disks, is the second most frequent cause of lost work for adults under 45 years of age.
