title: [Osteo-articular involvement in microdrepanocytic anemia].
abstract: Drepanocytosis is a hereditary hemoglobinopathy which is particularly common in Blacks; in its homozygote form there is constant general involvement of the osteoarticular system with clearly recognisable clinical and radiographic pictures. Microdrepanocytosis (double heterozygotosis) is instead more difficult to recognise. Based on their observations the authors report several specific aspects of the disease of orthopaedic interest.
