A dysostosis 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.
