Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video presentation, Dr. Hinojosa from Spain discusses craniovertebral junction abnormalities and skeletal dysplasias in children. He highlights that bone dysplasias are rare diseases that can cause growth delay and dwarfism. He emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and proper management of associated complications. Dr. Hinojosa mentions that most bone dysplasias are related to gene anomalies and collagen protein coding. He presents various cases of craniovertebral abnormalities and discusses treatment options based on the type and location of the abnormalities. He emphasizes the need for careful surgical planning and highlights the challenges of performing fusion in children with abnormal skeletal development. The video concludes with a discussion on the role of transcondylar screws in pediatric patients. Overall, Dr. Hinojosa's presentation provides valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of craniovertebral junction abnormalities and skeletal dysplasias in children.
