Skeletal complications in mucopolysaccharidosis VI patients: Case reports

Abstract

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VI is an inheritable lysosomal storage disorder that is often associated with severe orthopedic problems such as hip dysplasia, spinal deformities, and deformities in the skull, knees and hands. We describe the progression and management of three MPS VI cases with focus on their orthopedic problems. © 2010 - IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved.
