Blog Article

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an exceptionally rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by malformations of the big toes and progressive extra-skeletal PSYLIUM HUSK ossifications in distinct anatomical patterns.In FOP, heterotopic ossification (HO) occurs episodically, resulting from spontaneous flare-ups or trauma, leading to cumulative disability.Bone Custom Shaped Metal Sign scintigraphy with 99mTc-MDP combined with SPECT-CT is instrumental in early detection, diagnosis, staging, and disease monitoring by highlighting HO sites.
