Fibrous Dysplasia

Fibrous Dysplasia is a developmental anomaly in which various changes occur in the bone tissue, causing pain and a tendency to pathological fractures.

There are two main types of fibrous dysplasia:

  1. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia - this type affects only one bone.

  2. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia - this type affects a large number of skeletal bones.

Fibrous dysplasia is usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. The disease may progress for several years after the first symptoms appear and then stabilize. Treatment mainly consists of pain management and fracture prevention with orthopedic devices. In severe cases, surgery may be required.

The prognosis for fibrous dysplasia is generally favorable, especially in the monoosseous form. With adequate treatment, patients can lead a normal life.
