Q

when skeletal dysplasia is suspected, the protocol should be adjusted to include:

  1. Asses limb shortening
  2. Assess bone contour
  3. Estimate degree of ossification
  4. Evaluate thoracic circumference and shape
  5. survey for coexistent hand and foot anomalies
  6. evaluate face & profile
  7. Survey for other anomalies
