Familial osteochondritis dissecans and dwarfism.
We review four generations of a short statured family in whom 12 members have osteochondritis dissecans (O.D.) affecting the knees, elbow, or both, and other minor anomalies of bony development are recorded. Four of the family, unaffected by O.D., exhibit idiopathic scoliosis.
