Abstract:
This article reports a case of bilateral total hip replacement in a diastrophic dwarf. We were unable to find reports of any similar cases in the world literature, although we do know that Hungerford performed a total hip replacement in a diastrophic dwarf in 1974 (personal communication). In addition to the case report, this article reviews some of the salient characteristics that set diastrophic dwarfism apart from other chondrodystrophies.
