Source abstract
CASE: An Indian girl, diagnosed with osteoid osteoma of tibia and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis at the age of 6 years, presented 3 years later with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and was found to have a mutation in the GALNT3 gene associated with hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis. She underwent in situ screw fixation with prophylactic pinning of the other hip. At a 2-year follow-up, the patient had a good range of motion and no radiological signs of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. CONCLUSION: GALNT3 gene mutation with SCFE is a previously unreported association, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach.
