Abstract
Developmental abnormalities and skeletal dysplasias comprise one of the most controversial, extensive, and complex subjects in pediatrics. This miscellaneous chapter will provide a concise review of imaging findings in selected conditions that are particularly prone to affect the immature joint. This selection is inevitably arbitrary and includes abnormalities of the bones and of the soft tissues, based mostly in their frequency, their clinical relevance, their importance for the differential diagnosis, and the potential impact of imaging for their diagnosis and management. Pseudotumoral articular and periarticular dysplastic conditions (such as focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia and dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica) are discussed in Chap. 6.
