Diaphyseal aclasis : study of imaging pattern and associated deformities
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2019, Vol 117, Issue 5
Abstract
Hereditary multiple exostosis, also known as Diaphyseal aclasis is characterised by development of multiple exostosis. We report two cases of diaphyseal aclasis who presented to the outpatient orthopaedics department of our institution with clinico-radiological correlation of the diagnosis with due emphasis on the associated deformity as encountered. The multiplicity of lesion and associated deformity makes the diagnosis of diaphyseal aclasis at an early stage than its solitary counterpart. Most of the patients presented with short stature as the chief complaint. The spectrum of the radiological features of osteochondroma, its variants and complications are a direct refelction of its pathological appearances. Identification of these features are important in guiding therapy and thus improving the patients management.
