Abstract/Notes Metaphyseal dysplasia is a benign condition, usually discovered incidentally on plain film radiography. However, there are a number of other skeletal dysplasias with overlapping clinical and radiological findings that have important clinical implications for manipulative therapists. This article presents a case of metaphyseal dysplasia (Pyle’s disease) in a 14-year-old boy with coincidental low back pain. The radiological and clinical features are discussed along with some of the more commonly encountered differential diagnoses, including Hurler’s syndrome, spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia, Marfan’s syndrome and homocystinuria, all of which may potentially be associated with joint instability or reduced bone density (as well as other complicating factors) that may require modification to management protocols.
