ABSTRACT
Case We present a case of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH) involving the posteromedial distal femur in a 4-year-old girl. The patient underwent lesion resection with internal fixation of the articular cartilage followed by autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) to restore the articular surface and epiphysis. At the 7-year follow-up, the patient had no pain or difficulty with participation in sports. Advanced imaging showed a stable articular surface with evidence of durable cartilage integration. Conclusion:
DEH is a rare disease often treated by resection. In cases where the articular surface of the knee is involved, we have demonstrated that augmentation with ACI can be an effective treatment option.
