Introduction
Multiple enchondromatosis (Ollier's disease) is characterized by metaphyseal cartilaginous lesions usually restricted to one side of the body. The lower extremity is more commonly involved. Enchondromas can lead to growth disturbance, deformity and pathological fractures [1] [2] [3]. Involvement of the femoral neck has been mentioned in 1 veterinary report and 3 human case reports [4] [5]. Retrotilt of the proximal femoral epiphysis as a result of a femoral neck enchondroma leading to femoro-acetabular impingement has not been presented to date.
