Musculoskeletal manifestations of Russell-Silver syndrome.
The musculoskeletal manifestations of Russell-Silver syndrome were studied in 25 patients. The most common manifestations were short stature (25 patients), limb-length discrepancy (23 patients), clinodactyly (19 patients) metacarpal bone and phalangeal abnormalities (13 patients), scoliosis (9 patients), foot syndactylism (5 patients), and developmental dysplasia of the hips (3 patients). Five patients underwent lower extremity limb-lengthening procedures for discrepancies greater than 3 cm and three patients had successful pelvic and/or femoral osteotomies for hip dysplasia. All 18 patients studied had retardation of bone age, which peaked at age 7 years.
