Abstract EN
Musculoskeletal system is a complex assembly of tissues which acts as scaffold for the body and enables locomotion.
It is often overlooked that different components of this system may biomechanically interact and affect each other.
Skeletal dysplasias are diseases predominantly affecting the development of the osseous skeleton.
However, in some cases skeletal dysplasia patients are referred to neuromuscular clinics prior to the correct skeletal diagnosis.
The muscular complications seen in these cases are usually mild and may stem directly from the muscle defect and/or from the altered interactions between the individual components of the musculoskeletal system.
A correct early diagnosis may enable better management of the patients and a better quality of life.
This paper attempts to summarise the different components of the musculoskeletal system which are affected in skeletal dysplasias and lists several interesting examples of such diseases in order to enable better understanding of the complexity of human musculoskeletal system.
