title: Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia complicated by severe osteochondritis dissecans of the knee. Incidence in two families.
abstract: Two families are described which appear to contain examples of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. In both families a striking incidence of severe osteochondritis of the knees was encountered. It is suggested that this was caused by the fragmented and maldeveloped epiphyses characteristic of epiphyseal dysplasia.
