Orthopedic Dermatopathies: Skin Manifestations in Orthopedic Conditions.

Orthopedic diseases often present with dermatological symptoms that require prompt identification for appropriate treatment. Understanding these dermatologic presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management. This article critically reviewed the dermatological manifestations observed in general and regional pathologies, followed by treatment-related manifestations. An extensive literature search was performed and limited to manifestations in orthopedic disease, excluding those pertaining to infection or syndromes. Case reports and case series documenting unusual and rare dermatologic presentations of orthopedic conditions were examined, providing novel perspectives on both prevalent and uncommon illnesses. The identified pathologies are discussed in detail, including their clinical features and diagnosis, while treatment approach varies depending on the severity of the condition, ranging from self-care to surgical intervention. The findings emphasize the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and highlight the importance of careful diagnosis and appropriate management to eliminate unnecessary approaches and ensure optimal outcomes for patients with orthopedic diseases and dermatologic symptoms.
