What are the latest advances in Fibrous Dysplasia?
Here you can see the latest advances and discoveries made regarding Fibrous Dysplasia.
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign intramedullary fibro-osseous lesion. FD is a bone developmental anomaly characterized by replacement of normal bone and marrow bone by fibrous tissue. It involves any of the bones as single lesion (monostotic) or in multiple bone lesions (polyostotic) or all of the skeletal system (panostotic). Long bones are most commonly involved, which mostly identified incidentally and clinically appears asymptomatic. Clinical, radiographical and histopathological findings will help in confirming the lesion. There are many treatment option available, but still management of FD remains challenging.

The other countries, I think, is already putting FD as one of the things to be taught in schools. There are already a lot of organizations that help with FD, even Facebook groups (my mother joined one of them). In terms of treatment, I think time makes surgery better, increasing its success. Not sure what else are updates.
