Abstract
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to describe the bony and, to our knowledge, previously unreported associated soft-tissue abnormalities seen on MR imaging of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica.
Conclusion:
MR imaging accurately depicted bony and cartilagenous structural abnormalities in multiple planes and revealed previously undescribed secondary changes in menisci, tendons, ligaments, and muscle. MR imaging is of value in the assessment of patients with this disorder.
