title: Coxa vara in conjunction with metaphyseal dysostosis.
abstract: We describe a rare case of unilateral development of coxa vara secondary to metaphyseal dysostosis encountered in a 6-year-old boy. Family history and radiographic documentation revealed a 31-year-old father with a typical clinical history. Proximal femoral intertrochanteric valgus osteotomy and a revision cup (Allofit) have been performed for the child and his father respectively.
