Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, [1] named after Swedish surgeon Sven Christian Johansson (1880-1959), [2] and Christian Magnus Falsen Sinding-Larsen (1866-1930), [3] a Norwegian physician, is apophysitis of the inferior pole of the patella. It is analogous to Osgood–Schlatter disease which involves the upper margin of the tibia. This ...
Patients with Larsen syndrome normally present with a variety of symptoms, including congenital anterior dislocation of the knees, dislocation of the hips and elbows, flattened facial appearance, prominent foreheads, and depressed nasal bridges. [2] Larsen syndrome can also cause a variety of cardiovascular [3] and orthopedic abnormalities. [4]
The diagnosis of patellofemoral pain syndrome is made by ruling out patellar tendinitis, prepatellar bursitis, plica syndrome, Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, and Osgood–Schlatter disease. [23] Currently, there is not a gold standard assessment to diagnose PFPS. [20]
Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, [16] is an analogous condition involving the patellar tendon and the lower margin of the patella bone, instead of the upper margin of the tibia. Sever's disease is an analogous condition affecting the Achilles tendon attachment to the heel. [citation needed]
Osteochondrosis is a family of orthopedic diseases of the joint that occur in children, adolescents and rapidly growing animals, particularly pigs, horses, dogs, and broiler chickens. They are characterized by interruption of the blood supply of a bone, in particular to the epiphysis , [ 1 ] followed by localized bony necrosis , [ 2 ] and later ...
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes M91-M94 within Chapter XIII: Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue should be included in this category. Pages in category "Chondropathies"
Infantile cortical hyperostosis is a self-limited condition, meaning that the disease resolves on its own without treatment, usually within 6–9 months. Long-term deformities of the involved bones, including bony fusions and limb-length inequalities, are possible but rare. [citation needed]
Additionally, the disease is often associated with melorheostosis, [4] despite the apparent lack of correlation between melorheostosis and genetic heritability. [citation needed] It has been tied to LEMD3. [5] Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome is a similar condition, [6] which is also associated with LEMD3. [7]
