Previously undescribed findings included proximal femoral epiphyseal dysplasia reminiscent of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease in both patients, and Klippel-Feil malformation and osteopathia striata in one patient.

We studied six patients with severe femoral head deformity treated surgically by valgus-flexion-internal-rotation femoral osteotomy plus simultaneous acetabuloplasty based on the concept of "functional retroversion" and "functional coxa vara" of the deformed femoral head in late severe Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and epiphyseal dysplasia.

Etiologically, the cases placed in 3 groups: idiopathic osteochondritis of the femoral head or early discovered Perthes' disease; dysplasia capiti femoris or a malformation belonging to the group of spondylo epiphyseal dysplasia; deformation of the femoral head through malposition such as C.D.H.
