In this review article, three important issues regarding X-ray diagnosis of skeletal dysplasia are discussed: basic knowledge of skeletal dysplasia, the concept of bone dysplasia family, and the key pathognomonic findings of whole body bone. First, young pediatric radiology residents should know that there are so many disease entities (436 diseases) and group categories (42 groups) in “Nosology and classification of genetic skeletal disorders” 2015 editions. The second topic is that pediatric radiology residents should understand the basic knowledge of formation of bone tissue; one is membranous ossification, and the other is endochondral ossification. The third topic is how to find the pathognomonic findings of skeletal changes. This article introduces typical radiological abnormalities of the metaphysis, epiphysis, and diaphysis. Also, thoracic, vertebral, and pelvic abnormalities are discussed briefly. In daily practice, the X-ray diagnosis of skeletal dysplasia is difficult for radiology residents to understand. Otherwise, radiological pattern recognition is one of our best subjects. So young radiologists should never give up learning the basic process of skeletal dysplasia.
