Abstract:
The authors describe two children with spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, Sutcliffe type. This easily recognizable form of bone dysplasia is characterized by coxa vara, minimal metaphyseal changes, oval vertebral bodies and metaphyseal corner fractures later in life. It is probably the most common type of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia. Early diagnosis is important for proper management.
