Abstract

The Fairbank Collection in the Radiology Department of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital contains details of 15 patients in the section labelled "Metaphysial Dysplasia and Dysostosis". This material has been reviewed, long-term follow-up of the patients carried out and the diagnosis revised, where indicated, according to current concepts. Of the 15 patients, all children, seven had recognisable bone dysplasias. The remaining eight, all listed under the heading "metaphysial fragility", had the characteristic radiographic features of "battered" babies.
