A family with multiple musculoskeletal abnormalities is reported. The disorder is characterised by platyspondyly, abnormality of the upper femoral epiphyses, and the development of precocious osteoarthritis. It is proposed that this family represents an example of autosomal dominantly inherited spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SED tarda).

The hypermobility of the pediatric bony cervical spine allows deformation of the musculoskeletal structures beyond physiologic extremes, permitting direct trauma or ischemic injury of the spinal cord followed by spontaneous reduction of the bony spine. This predisposes to a spinal cord injury without radiological abnormality (SCIWORA) [1] . SCIWORA has positive neurologic Received: August 5, 20...

Background The term benign hypermobility syndrome is applied to those children with musculoskeletal pain associated with generalized hypermobility of the joints without any associated congenital syndrome or abnormality of connective tissue, such as Marfan's or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of joint hypermobility among school students and to define...

There is a close link between the embryological development of the musculoskeletal system and all other main organ systems. We report a prospective series of 202 patients with congenital vertebral abnormalities and document the associated abnormalities in other systems. There were 100 boys and 102 girls. In 153 there were 460 associated abnormalities, a mean of 2.27 abnormalities for each patie...
