Inherited skeletal disorders have a fascination for many medical
and surgical disciplines. For the geneticist there is interest in
the study of families and their inheritance of lesions. The
paediatrician is concerned because most of the disorders present in
childhood as a problem in clinical differential diagnosis. The
radiologist is interested because of the manifest, multiple and
curious bone changes that provide a challenge in diagnosis and
classification. The orthopaedic surgeon is involved because they
present a challenge in the management of the many and various
lesions of the limbs and trunk. Most of the text books are slanted
towards one or other aspect of the subject, depending upon the
specialist interests of their author. Though informative to
colleagues in their own discipline, the information which they
contain is liable to be overwhelming in its complexity or unhelpful
in its content for the orthopaedic surgeon or trainee. Frank Horan
and Peter Beighton have aimed their admirable and concise monograph
to help the orthopaedic surgeon-the one individual who is likely to
be able to ameliorate the musculo-skeletal problems from which so
many of the children and adults with these diseases suffer. In
recent years, much more orthopaedic help has become available for
dysplastics.
