Lateral Plateau Depression: Ellis-van Creveld Syndrome

 

Before and after x-rays show a 4-year-old girl with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. This rare condition causes the outside weight-bearing surface of the knee joint to depress, which leads to a valgus deformity. The inside weight-bearing surface remains normal.

 

Diagram shows the planned surgical steps to correct this problem.
