Abstract:
This is the first case report detailing the musculoskeletal pathology and treatment ramifications associated with velocardiofacial syndrome. Orthopaedic manifestations include scoliosis, clubfoot, Sprengel's deformity, generalized ligamentous laxity that is especially problematic about the knee, and epiphyseal dysplasia that is most notable in the lateral humeral condyle, lateral femoral condyle, and femoral head.
