Köhler's disease is a self-limiting disorder affecting endochondral ossification, marked by fragmentation and sclerosis in the tarsal navicular bone. In 1908, Köhler highlighted these complexities by describing concurrent osteochondrosis of the tarsal navicular.
A relevant case involves a 5-year-old girl who visited an orthopedic clinic with bilateral foot pain and an inability to bear weight for a week. She was diagnosed with bilateral Köhler's disease.
Although uncommon, Köhler's disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric foot pain to avoid unnecessary treatments and to ensure optimal care for the patients.
科勒氏病是一种影响软骨内成骨的自限性疾病,特征为足舟骨的碎裂和硬化。1908年,科勒通过描述足舟骨同时发生的骨软骨炎强调了这些复杂性。
一个相关病例是一名5岁女孩,因双侧足部疼痛且一周无法负重前往骨科诊所就诊。她被诊断为双侧科勒氏病。
尽管科勒氏病不常见,但在小儿足部疼痛的鉴别诊断中应考虑到该病,以避免不必要的治疗并确保为患者提供最佳护理。
