Orthopedic surgery can play a central role in the treatment of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), particularly for managing the progressive effects the disease has on bones and connective tissue. Our experts provide information on common surgical interventions used to support mobility, relieve pain and address skeletal complications in pediatric patients living with MPS.
Multisystem involvement in MPS often includes joint stiffness, spinal abnormalities, hip dysplasia and other orthopedic concerns that may require surgical corrections. Learn about the factors that go into making decisions around timing, risk and long-term outcomes. Our experts also discuss skeletal manifestations of MPS, surgical versus non-surgical management options and how enzyme replacement therapy may affect orthopedic decision-making.
