An X-ray of the bilateral lower limbs (anteroposterior view) was performed in December 2021. In this figure, the colors illustrate the following: blue: femoral shortening; red: cone-shaped deformity of distal femur metaphysis with a central fusion of the epiphysis; yellow: femoral neck widening.

FIG1
X-ray of the lower limbs (Figures 1, 2) illustrated bilateral knees with different views performed in December 2021.
An X-ray of the left knee (lateral view) was performed in December 2021. In this figure, the colors illustrate the following: red: enlargement of the femoral condyles; yellow: sclerotic changes and central depression of the proximal tibial metaphysis.

FIG2
X-ray of the lower limbs (Figures 1, 2) illustrated bilateral knees with different views performed in December 2021.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the bilateral lower limbs without contrast (coronal view) was performed in December 2021. In this figure, the colors illustrate the following: red: the distal metaphysis of both femurs was cone-shaped with corresponding deformed epiphysis and symmetrical narrowed growth plates; yellow: both proximal tibial metaphysis and epiphysis were minimally cone-shaped.

Similarly, both proximal tibial metaphysis and epiphysis were minimally cone-shaped (Figures 3, 4).
Magnetic resonance imaging of the left knee without contrast (sagittal view) was performed in December 2021. Red: the distal metaphysis of both femurs was cone-shaped with corresponding deformed epiphysis. In this figure, the colors illustrate the following: red: cone-shaped epiphysis and symmetrical narrow growth plates; yellow: both proximal tibial metaphysis and epiphysis were minimally cone-shaped.
