A dysostosis (Template:Ety) is a disorder of the development of bone, in particular affecting ossification.[1] Examples include craniofacial dysostosis, Klippel–Feil syndrome, and Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome.
It is one of the two categories of constitutional disorders of bone (the other being osteochondrodysplasia).[2] When the disorder involves the joint between two bones, the term synostosis is often used.
