The dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH) is a rare disease of unknown etiology consisting in an abnormal osteocartilaginous growth at the epiphysis, usually hemimelic with histological findings similar to benign osteochondroma. In this case series, we described the results of the arthroscopic treatment of 2 consecutive cases of intra-articular ankle localization of DEH in 2 patients aged 9 and 10 years. The good result obtained, persistent at the 5-year follow-up, leads us to consider the arthroscopic approach as a reliable treatment in patient affected by intra-articular ankle DEH.
骨骺发育异常半侧肢体肥大症(DEH)是一种病因不明的罕见疾病,表现为骨骺处异常的骨软骨生长,通常为半侧肢体受累,组织学表现类似于良性骨软骨瘤。在本病例系列中,我们描述了对2例年龄分别为9岁和10岁、踝关节内DEH的连续2例患者进行关节镜治疗的结果。所获得的良好结果在5年随访中持续存在,这使我们认为关节镜手术是治疗踝关节内DEH患者的可靠方法。
