Abstract
Two additional cases of femoral fibrocartilaginous dysplasia are reported. The condition produces such significant angulation of the articular surface s of the knee that progressive deformity is of concern to parents and surge on alike. In both the reported cases, corrective distal femoral osteotomy c onfirmed the histologic diagnosis and ensured satisfactory gait in later ch ildhood.
