Bone Growth Conditions

Many children suffer the effects of bone growth abnormalities and will benefit from our research work. Including children with:

• Bone growth arrest or angulation
• Children born with one limb longer than the other
• Children suffering from scoliosis (10% of all girls are affected in some way)
• Bone dysplasias or dwarfism
• Bone tumours and bone diseases
• Children whose growth has been hindered as a result of chemotherapy treatment
• Hip dislocation
• Hand and foot problems such as club foot
• Neuromuscular disorders such as spina bifida
• Birth injuries

We believe that up to 15% of the population could one day benefit from our research work.
