Abstract
We have reported upon the roentgenologic changes found in the lower extremities of three typical cases with metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (Schmid Type). These cases had been followed-up, radiologically for an average of 8.8 years since infancy. In the three cases, metaphyseal abnormalities found on the roentgenogram, in order of site of remodelling, were as follows: 1) proximal end of the femur 2) proximal end of tibia, proximal end of fibula and the distal end of the fibula 3) distal end of the tibia 4) distal end of the femur. Metaphyseal abnormalities found on the roentgenogram in case 3 had undergone remodelling earlier than that in cases 1 or 2.
