dyplasia is an abnormal development of the head of the femur.  Usually, children are born with this condition.  You must be seeing an orthopedic MD.  I don't have it but one of my sons did.  He walked with an unnormal gait and had pain a lot of the time.  When your bones mature, hopefully surgery can correct it, but I'm not sure.  My son never had the chance to find out.  Good luck.

Yes, you can. My brother has 1 testis and he has 2 children a boy and a girl. Good luck.

It usually results in some kind of "mutation" or some sort depending on which chromosomes are affected by having extra copies or not enough. One of the most common of genetic deformities is trisomy twenty-one. The twenty-first chormosome has an extra copy and this Trisomy twenty one is commonly known as Down's Syndrome. So to give you a more direct answer It all depends on which ones...

In Turner syndrome, the girl does not have the usual pair of two complete X chromosomes. The most common scenario is that the girl has only one X chromosome in her cells. Some girls with Turner syndrome do have two X chromosomes, but one of the X chromosomes is incomplete. In another scenario, the girl has some cells in her body with two X chromosomes, but other cells have only one.

What is diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH)?  \n\nDISH is characterized by excessive bone growth along the sides of the vertebrae of the spine \nIt also involves inflammation and bone growth where tendons and ligaments attach to bone, such as at the elbow, knee and the heel of the foot. \nBone spurs are common among people with DISH\n\nDISH (sometimes called Forestier’s disease) is considered a form of degenerative arthritis and is characterized by excessive bone growth along the sides of the vertebrae of the spine. It is also associated with inflammation and calcification (bone growth) at other areas of the body where tendons and ligaments attach to bone, such as at the elbow, knee and the heel of the foot. These can lead to bone spurs. Heel spurs, for example, are common among people with DISH.\n\nHow common is DISH?  \n\nDISH is very common, affecting between six and 12 percent of North Americans. \nIt rarely occurs among people younger than 50. \nIt affects more men than women.\n\nDISH is thought to be the second most common form of arthritis after osteoarthritis. It affects between six and 12 percent of North Americans, almost always occurring among people older than 50. Unlike most types of arthritis, DISH occurs more often among men (65%) than women (35 %), and affects 28 percent of men over the age of 80.

Acrodysostosis \n\n\nImportant \n\nIt is possible that the main title of the report Acrodysostosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. \n\n\n\nSynonyms \n\nPNM \nPeripheral Dysostosis-Nasal Hypoplasia-Mental Retardation \nDisorder Subdivisions \n\nNone \nGeneral Discussion \n\nAcrodysostosis is an extremely rare skeletal disorder characterized by abnormally short and malformed bones of the hands and feet (peripheral dysostosis) and underdevelopment of the nose (nasal hypoplasia). Other findings may include progressive growth delays, short stature, and/or unusual head and facial (craniofacial) features. Affected infants may exhibit premature maturation of bones of the hands and feet, malformation and shortening of the forearm bones (radius and ulna) near the wrist, and/or abnormally short fingers and toes (brachydactyly). Characteristic facial features may include a flattened, underdeveloped (hypoplastic) "pug" nose, an underdeveloped upper jaw bone (maxilliary hypoplasia), widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), and/or an extra fold of skin on either side of the nose that may cover the eyes' inner corners (epicanthal folds).\n\n\n\nAcrodysostosis is usually accompanied by moderate mental retardation and learning difficulties. It may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in some cases, although no gene has yet been identified with this disorder. Acrodysostosis seems to be associated in some cases with advanced parental age.

probably common \nbut check with your dds or doc for advice

i guess u talking about congenital hip dysplasia or an associated condition, usually seen in dogs and sometimes in cats

I'm sorry this is happening to you. Yes, it is possible that it is bone cancer, either Ewings Sarcoma or Osteosarcoma. Both are considered childhood cancers and you fall into the age group most likely to have one of these types. Nothing is certain though until you have all the results back from the tests. It also seems like this was caught early, so that is good news.\n\nIf you are finally diagnosed with cancer, than it is possible that you may need chemotherapy. But much depends on what type of cancer this would be and what stage the cancer is in. There are four stages of cancers . . stage 1 means the cancer is located in one spot while stage 4 would indicate that the cancer has spred to other parts of the body.\n\nPlease stay positive. Wait for all the results of the tests, no sense worrying about something until it happens. Be strong!

in actual ther are 33 but 9 bones fuse to form two bones ie. sacral and coccyx. so 26 bones.\nin babies there are 33 and in adults 26

In the US, there's 1 case of EDS for every 5,000-10,000 people, according to the Ehlers-Danlos Foundation.  Other sources say 1 in 400,000.  Unfortunately, sometimes patient foundation tend to exaggerate figures.\n\nAccording to wrongdiagnosis.com, about 54,400 people are affected by Ehlers-Danlos in the US.\n\nAccording to an article from December 2005 on Medscape, the estimated overall prevalence of EDS is 1 in 5000 people, depending on type. It affects males and females of all racial and ethnic backgrounds equally. Classical-type EDS occurs in 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20,000 infants; it is one of the more common forms.

I can usually tell after they show me the x-ray.  You may want to play it safe and get an x-ray if you are worried about it.  A broken bone on a growing child can be a bad thing...

SED (Spondylo-Epiphyseal Dysplasia) is a rare collagen disorder that involves the vertebrae and the proximal ends of long bones.  The result is a form of short-trunk dwarfism.\n\nThere are 2 types of SED.\n\n1. SED congenita which can be seen at birth, is an Autosomal Dominant trait mapped to a gene on chromosome 12.\n\n2. SED tarda results in a normal appearance at birth and development of signs later on in life.  It is most commonly an X-linked recessive trait.\n\nSED congenita and tarda are non-lethal forms, and the tarda variant is generally milder than congenita.  They are associated with advanced maternal age at conception.  Some cases of SED congenita are also associated with retinal abnormalities and hearing problems.\n\nPlease read more on the website below.

Here's an answer that wasn't copied and pasted from somewhere on the net...\n\nLong bones, which are the bones of your arms and legs, can be broken into two regions. The "knobs" located at both ends of the bone are called the epiphyses. The long, narrow portion of the bone is called the diaphysis. Located at each end of the bone between the epiphysis and diaphysis is a region called the epiphyseal plate.\n\nThe epiphyseal plate is more commonly referred to as the "growth plate". In a growing human, the epiphyseal plate contains many chondrocytes. The chondrocytes produce chondrin, which is the material that composes cartlidge. This new cartilidge lengthens the bone. Osteoblasts then convert this newly formed cartlidge into bone.\n\nIn adult humans who have finished growing, the epiphyseal plate has been completely replaced by solid bone. A quick x-ray can therefore determine whether an adult human has finished growing by the presence or absence of the epiphyseal plate.\n\nChondrocytes are also located in other parts of the body where cartlidge is present, like the nose, ears, larynx, trachea, and skeletal joints.
