Dear Conference Attendees
It is my finest opportunity to express my enthusiasm with you through writing a brief message of welcome to the session entitled congenital bone disorders. Firstly, as much of my work is centred on one simple rule that every long term skeletal deformity /abnormality must have an underlying causality that needs to be explored and addressed. This stems from the conviction that the vast majority of the skeletal deformities - if not all- do not occur randomly. Secondly, where many physicians fall into the pitfall of deeming a countless number of diseases idiopathic, as no clear connection has been established between the onset of the deformity and other inexplicit abnormal features that the patient or their immediate families or relatives carry, my work focuses on uncovering and emphasizing these connections, and reiterating the fundamental rule that etiological understanding is paramount to successful management and treatment.
