Abstract:

Background: Trevors Disease is a rare developmental bone disorder of childhood. The bones of the ankle joint are most commonly affected. Of them Tibial involvement is less common as compared with tarsal involvement. We present a localized form Trevors Disease of lower tibial epiphysis.Methods: A 9 year old who previously does not had any history of trauma presented with bony swelling from the anteromedial aspect of the lower tibial epiphysis with limitation of ankle dorsiflexion. The patient underwent radiological imaging followed by surgical excision and tissue biopsy for establishing the diagnosis. Additionally we collected all the reports of Trevor disease.
Results: At one year follow up there is no recurrence, restriction of movements or ankle joint dysfunction in our case. Conclusions: The present study reports a case of localized form Trevors Disease at the lower tibial epiphysis with one year follow-up. A detailed review of Trevor disease was also performed regarding the treatment, prognosis, long term function and the areas affected.
