Fibrous dysplasia

There is no cure for fibrous dysplasia, only treatment of the symptoms. Bone fractures or deformities will be treated as needed. The patient will be screened for the development of endocrine disorders as needed.

The outlook depends on the severity of the condition and associated problems.

• Rickets
• Gigantism or acromegaly
• Cushing's disease
• Hyperthyroidism
• Heart rhythm disturbance

Call your health care provider if symptoms of this condition are present, such as repeated bone fractures and unexplained bone deformity. Specialists in orthopedics (function of the skeleton),endocrinology (secreting glands),and genetics (inheritence of characteristics) may be involved in the diagnosis and care.
