🗑
What is skeletal dysplasia?   The term used to describe abnormal growth and density of cartilage and bone.  
🗑
What abnormality of the fetal skeleton occurs secondary to skeletal dysplasia?   Dwarfism  
🗑
What is rhizomelia?   Shortening of the proximal bone segment (humerus and femur).  
🗑
What is mesomelia?   This refers to the shortening of the middle segment, radius/ulna and tibia/fibula.  
🗑
What is Micromelia?   This describes the shortening of the entire extremity.  
🗑
What is hypophosphatasia?   A condition that presents with diffuse hypomineralization of the bone caused by an alkaline phosphate deficiency.

🗑
What is homozygous achondrodysplasia?   A type of fetal skeletal malformation inherited from two parents, is considered lethal, with most infants dying shortly after birth from respiratory complications.  
🗑
What is Osteogenesis imperfecta?   This is a rare disorder of collagen production leading to brittle bones; manifestations in the teeth, skin, and ligaments; and blue sclera.  
🗑
What is the VACTERL association?   The VACTERL association is a group of anomalies that may occur together. In this sporadic group of anomalies, vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac anomalies, tracheo esophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb dysplasia may occur in combination.
