interesting joint disease

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

This is a very rare disease with only about 1000 cases world wide. This is a disease that cause muscles and tissues to turn into bone which restricts movement of the body parts and locks the joints.Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva also known as FOP is the most devastating bone disorder known to man kind. Something as little as a bump can trigger the disease and cause a second skeleton to form. I chose this disease because it is very interesting and crazy how something like this can happen.

  6. This is so interesting. It's hard to believe that skeleton picture with so much extra bone filling in all over the joints. I can't even imagine. Great find.
