Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Genetics
  • Pediatric Radiology

Background:

  • Metachondromatosis is an extremely rare skeletal dysplasia.
  • It is characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of multiple enchondromas and osteochondromas.

Observation:

  • This report details a clinical case of metachondromatosis.
  • The case involved a patient presenting with symptoms requiring thorough investigation.

Findings:

  • The literature on metachondromatosis was reviewed.
  • Avascular necrosis of the femoral capital epiphysis was identified as a significant potential complication.

Implications:

  • Understanding metachondromatosis complications is crucial for patient management.
  • Early recognition of avascular necrosis can guide orthopedic interventions and improve outcomes.
