    Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder. Radiographic analysis confirmed characteristic findings, aiding in FOP diagnosis and understanding its progressive nature.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Genetics
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital malformations and progressive ossification of soft tissues.
    • Accurate diagnosis of FOP is crucial for patient management and genetic counseling, but can be challenging due to its rarity and variable presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To confirm characteristic radiographic findings of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) in a large cohort.
    • To identify and demonstrate specific radiological signs associated with FOP.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 353 previously reported cases of FOP.
    • Radiological analysis of six new FOP cases.

    Main Results:

    • Characteristic radiographic findings of FOP were confirmed.
    • Specific signs demonstrated include medial cortical thickening of the proximal tibia, a narrow lumbar spinal canal, an accessory epiphysis of the second phalanx of the fifth finger, and a decreased humeral/epicondylar angle.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms key radiographic indicators for diagnosing fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).
    • These findings aid in the radiological identification and diagnosis of FOP, supporting clinical assessment.
