Other associated features include multiple skeletal defects (chest and spine deformities), webbed/short neck, variable cognitive deficits, cryptorchidism, lymphatic dysplasia, bleeding diathesis, and, rarely, predisposition to certain hematologic malignancies during childhood.

The practice of orthopedics was pioneered in the ensuing decades by Jean André Venel, who established an institute in Switzerland for the treatment of crippled children's skeletal deformities.
Lack of vitamin D in children causes rickets, a disease characterized by inadequate mineralization of bone, growth retardation, and skeletal deformities such as bowed legs.
