Epiphyseo-metaphyseal cupping following infantile scurvy

P L Sprogue. Pediatr Radiol. .

Abstract

A five year old girl presented with short femora, cupped distal metaphyses and flexion deformity of the knees suggesting previous epiphyseo-metaphyseal damage. The aetiology was suggested by finding a history of previous infantile scurvy with separated distal femoral epiphyses. The rarity of this complication and possible contributing factors are discussed.
