Pelvis-shoulder dysplasia.
Pelvis-shoulder dysplasia is a rare focal skeletal dysostosis. We present the long-term follow-up of a patient with this condition. This patient has severe pelvic dysplasia but no involvement of the scapulae or clavicles. Despite the severity of the pelvic dysplasia, this man is able to function well. This is the fifth case of pelvis-shoulder dysplasia reported, but the only one documenting follow-up into adulthood.
