Radiographic classification of coronal plane femoral deformities in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia of bone is a skeletal dysplasia with a propensity to affect the femur in its polyostotic form, leading to deformity, fracture, and pain. The proximal femur is most commonly involved with a tendency to distal progression, thereby producing the typical shepherd's crook deformity. However, there are few data on the spectrum and progression of femoral deformities in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
