Abstract
- Developmental coxa vara is a rare disease and the symptoms do not appear at birth, but rather, they appear at the age of walking. Clinically, the symptoms include a waddling gait, limb length discrepancy and frequent weariness. Developmental coxa vara is sometimes associated with skeletal dysplasia. Especially, it is associated with spondylometaphyseal dysplsia and the vertebral bodies and long bones are affected. The authors report here on diagnosing and treating this rare disease and we review the relevant literatures.
