Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia, a rare bone disorder characterized by abnormal fibrous tissue growth within bones, not only affects physical health but also profoundly impacts patients’ psychosocial well-being. This article explores the psychosocial effects of fibrous dysplasia, highlighting body image concerns, chronic pain, emotional stress, and limitations in daily functioning. Patient perspectives reveal adaptive strategies, peer support benefits, and advocacy efforts aimed at improving quality of life. Recognizing and addressing these psychosocial impacts are crucial for comprehensive patient care and enhancing resilience within the fibrous dysplasia community.
