Abstract
Valgus subtrochanteric osteotomies and hemiepiphyseodesis around the knees have been performed to correct severe coxa vara and genua valga in a girl patient who manifested extreme dwarfism associated with spondylometaepiphyseal dysplasia consistent with anauxetic dysplasia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of the combined orthopaedic intervention in a girl with anauxetic dysplasia.
