Abstract
|
|
|
|
Melorheostosis is a rare disease, belonging to the sclerotic bone dysplasia group. Initially described by Leri and Joanny in 1922, its etiology remains unknown. Onset is usually insidious, with deformity of the extremity, pain, limb stiffness, and limitation of motion in the joints. The typical radiographic appearance consists of irregular hyperostotic changes of the cortex, resembling melted wax dripping down one side of a candle. Treatment is usually symptomatic and conservative; however, conservative treatment is unsatisfactory due to functional issues when involving the distal extremity. We report on two cases of melorheostosis with synovial chondromatosis of the foot treated by mass excision.
