This review summarizes the clinical presentation, genetic basis, diagnostic methods, and management strategies for pycnodysostosis. Early recognition and multidisciplinary care are crucial for optimizing outcomes and improving the quality of life for affected individuals. Further research into the pathophysiology of pycnodysostosis may lead to novel therapeutic approaches. We report a case of pycnodysostosis in a 23-year-old male sustaining a low energy right femoral shaft fracture.
