Summary:To present a case of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED) tarda in a 14-yr-old boy. The patient suffered from chronic bilateral hip pain and range of movement was decreased. Radiographic examination showed findings consistent with skeletal dysplasia tarda. The patient was given specific stretching exercises and encouragement to stay active. Physiotherapy was provided to strengthen the hip adductor muscles. The presence of short stature, symmetrical hip dysplasia and abnormal vertebral bodies should raise the suspicion of a skeletal dysplasia, specifically spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia.
