Evaluation, imaging, histology and operative treatment for dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (Trevor disease) of the acetabulum: a case report and review.
Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), or Trevor's disease, is a rare disorder that most commonly affects the epiphysis of long bones in children. Rarely, major joints such as the hip can be involved. In this paper we describe a successfully treated case involving the acetabulum, documented with multiple imaging modalities, intraoperative photographs, histology, and follow-up radiographs.
