Tóm tắt

We report a patient with severe varus deformity and tibial shortening caused by dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), a rare skeletal developmental disorder characterized by an osteocartilaginous tumor arising from an epiphysis in young children. Limb lengtheninig and angular correction was performed successfully, with an excellent result without abnormal bone growth.
