title: Osteochondritis occurring at multiple sites.
abstract: Five patients with osteochondritis juvenalis occurring at multiple sites are presented. In all cases at least one hip was affected, one child developing symptoms at the age of 8 months. Other sites included the tarsal navicular, the patella and the calcaneal apophysis. The relevance of these observations to the aetiology of coxa plana is discussed.
