Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome

The issue of rare diseases has become a public health priority. In France, a national plan for rare diseases was published in 2004. It leads to the creation and certification of numerous Rare Disease Reference Centers by the French National Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de Santé). Our Fibrous Dysplasia Reference Center has been certified since 2006. However, evaluating the mechanical strength and fracture risk of fibrous dysplasia lesions remains a major unresolved challenge for clinicians. Improving the assessment of fracture risk therefore represents a key clinical objective.
