IGLESIAS, Matías et al. Análisis de la displasia epifisaria hemimélica (enfermedad de Trevor) de tobillo. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.83, n.4, pp.291-297. ISSN 1852-7434.

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica or Trevor's disease is an osteocartilaginous deformity in the epiphyseal region. It is an uncommon entity, and predominates in the male sex. It develops during childhood, when growth cartilages are open, and mainly affects the ankle and knee. Its origin is unknown. Three cases with different degree of involvement and therapeutic alternatives are presented. Only one surgical case due to irreductible equinovarus. Surgical technique, postoperative management and result of pathological anatomy are explained. We recommend surgery only for patients with some functional limitation or severe deformities due to its high rate of relapse.

Palabras clave : Trevor's disease; Epiphyseal osteochondroma; Ankle; Endochondral ossification.
