Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME) with Peroneal Nerve Compresion: A Case Report

Hereditary multiple exostoses: A case-report.

Acetabular dysplasia associated with hereditary multiple exostoses. A case report.

Hereditary multiple exostoses is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by multiple osteochondromata, most commonly affecting the forearm, knee and ankle. Osteochondromata of the proximal femur have been reported to occur in 30% to 90% of affected patients with coxa valga in 25%. Acetabular dysplasia is rare but has been described. This is the first report of a patient requiring surgical ...

Hereditary multiple exostoses: report of a kindred.

In a large family with 37 members with multiple exostoses, only one person has developed sarcomatous degeneration of a lesion. Our review of published reports revealed great variation in the incidence of malignancy in multiple exostoses (10 to 25%). Most studies had sampling errors leading to the apparent overstatement of risk. In large pedigrees with essentially complete ascertainment of affec...

Radiographic Analysis of the Pediatric Hip Patients With Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME).

BACKGROUND This study aimed to report the radiographic presentation of involved hips in children with hereditary multiple exostoses (HME). This included radiographic hip measurements, osteochondromas location, and relationship with hip subluxation. METHODS Anteroposterior pelvis radiographs of children with HME, seen between 2003 and 2014, were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients who were...

Hereditary multiple exostoses.

Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is a skeletal disorder which primarily affects enchondral bone during growth. It is characterised by multiple exostoses, usually arising in the juxtaepiphyseal region of the long bones. Exostoses that affect "almost every bone in the body" were first mentioned by John Hunter in his Lectures on the principles of surgery in 1786.1 The first family affected by H...
