Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how untreated solitary osteochondromas (SO) around the knee affect growth and alignment in children and adolescents, focusing on their potential to cause deformities in the lower extremities.
- Researchers reviewed data from 111 patients, analyzing factors like lesion location (distal femur or proximal tibia), size, and effects on limb lengths through radiographic measures.
- Results showed that while SO in the distal femur led to significant shortening of the affected limb compared to the contralateral side, tibial lesions did not have a similar impact, and overall, SOs did not create major deformities.
