%X METHODS: We describe the surgical management of a girl with dwarfism and congenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, who presented in adolescence with coxa vara and bilateral pseudarthrosis between the femoral neck and the diaphysis, with asymmetric distal migration at both sites and leg length discrepancy. The patient at 16 years underwent valgus osteotomy in situ and femoral neck fixation in the left hip. The right hip was operated 19 months later.
CONCLUSIONS: Hip dysplasia is common in spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, but a debilitating nontraumatic bilateral pseudarthrosis at the base of the femoral neck has not been previously reported. Valgus corrective osteotomies of the femur in situ led to union and allowed the patient to walk.
