Management of skeletal dysplasias is multidisciplinary, involving pediatricians, orthopedic surgeons, geneticists, and other specialists. Treatment focuses on improving quality of life and may include:
- Growth hormone therapy: In some types, growth hormone can be used to increase height. - Surgical interventions: Corrective surgeries for spinal deformities, limb lengthening procedures, and other orthopedic surgeries may be necessary. - Physical therapy: To improve mobility and muscle strength. - Pain management: Medications and other interventions to alleviate bone pain. - Regular monitoring: Frequent follow-ups to monitor growth, bone health, and development.
