• Hyperthermia

  There was no effusion, no hyperthermia, but slight synovial swelling detectable on either side. Both femorotibial joints were medially, laterally and anteriorly instable. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]

• Flexion Contracture

  There may be a delay in walking or flexion contractures of the knees or elbows. However, symptoms may also develop as late as adulthood. These patients have somewhat short stature, with height ranging from 145 to 170 cm (57 to 67 in.). [posna.org]

  Abnormalities of the femoral condyle and intercondylar notch have been shown to be causes of ACL damage in patients with degenerative knee arthritis, and in these patients arthroscopic notchplasty was successful in improving flexion contracture, pain [jmedicalcasereports.com]

  In three of four cases there was a bilateral extension contracture of a MCP joint. The following disorders occurred in two cases: flexion contracture in both elbow joints, mild scoliosis, mild dysplastic changes of the vertebral bodies. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]

• Waddling Gait

  Patients with MED and a waddling gait but minimal radiographic hip involvement should be evaluated for a primary myopathy and a mutation in type IX collagen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Clinical description EDM1 (see this term) is clinically the best characterized form of EMD and is marked by a waddling gait and pain at onset, and moderate short stature. The main complication is early arthrosis of the hip. [orpha.net]

  Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the main clinical signs and symptoms. [uniprot.org]

  Physical exam is notable for a valgus left knee and a waddling gait. Radiographs of the pelvis, knees, and left hand are provided in figures A-C. Genetic testing reveals a mutation of the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein(COMP). [orthobullets.com]

  Waddling gait Signs: Joint deformity (eg. valgus knee). Early OA. Joint contractures. Hyperextensible fingers Minor (investigative) findings On x-ray: Instability of upper C-spine. Bilateral epipyseal defects on pelvic film. [slideshare.net]

• Stiff Gait

  MED affects both sexes, and onset of symptoms usually begins early in or before the third decade of life [ 3 ], although in some forms patients experience joint pain, stiffness, gait abnormalities and retarded growth in early childhood [ 4 ]. [jmedicalcasereports.com]

Abstract Seven patients (10 hips), five with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and two with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, were studied as to the etiology of a significant change in their baseline symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology EDM1 is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner and is caused by mutations in the gene ( COMP ; 19p13.1) encoding the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein. [orpha.net]

The exact etiology of MED remains unclear. [emedicine.medscape.com]

There is a mild version (‘ribbing’) and a more typical, severe, form (‘Fairbanks’) Pathophysiology Irregular, delayed, ossification of multiple epiphyses. A defect in COMP (cartilege, oligomeric matrix protein) causes the most common form. [slideshare.net]

Pathophysiology delay of epiphyseal endochondral ossification lack of osseous support yields secondary articular cartilage deformity most commonly affects proximal femur and proximal humerus Genetics autosomal dominant is most common mutation in COMP [orthobullets.com]

However, some causative genes resulting in maturational delay in the epiphysis of the bone have been previously reported.( 6 ) Conservative treatment methods are applied as the genetic mechanisms play a role in the pathophysiology. [archivesofrheumatology.org]
