A case of extensive lower limb lengthening (32 cm) in a 14-year-old male patient with Ollier's disease is reported. A varus deformity of the femur and a valgus deformity of the tibia were evident. The femur was successfully lengthened 22 cm by metaphyseal distraction, and the tibia was lengthened 10 cm by two-stage distraction-compression method with a cylindrical bone allograft. Ilizarov's distraction device was used. Radiologically, a good bone regenerate was formed. Host bone has incorporated (like sarcophagi) the allograft of tibia. No evidence of vascular or neural disturbances was found. The lengthening indices were counted for femur 22.5 days per centimeter and for tibia 21 days per centimeter, altogether 15.5 days per centimeter. Bone lengthening was performed through the Ollier's disease foci. Fine needle biopsy investigation showed that most embryonic cartilage cells had been replaced with bone tissue. After five years and a 25-year follow-up the patient was satisfied with the result. The function of the knee joint was limited, but the limb was fully weight-bearing. Signs of knee osteoarthritis were found.

How do lesions affect limb lengthening in children with Ollier's disease?

Purpose: Ollier's disease (multiple enchondromatosis) can cause severe lower limb length discrepancy and deformity in children. Osteotomy and limb lengthening with external fixation can correct the lower extremity deformity. There may be lesions in the osteotomy part (OP), and the internal fixation part of the external fixation(FP).

Introduction: Enchondroma protuberans (EP), a rare form of enchondroma with exophytic growth, differs radiographically from classical enchondromas and can mimic osteochondroma, periosteal chondroma, or chondrosarcoma. Proper differentiation is crucial to avoid unnecessary radical resection, as EP requires intralesional curettage rather than the surgical removal typical for osteochondromas.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to enhance understanding of tumor development in patients with Ollier disease (OD) and Maffucci syndrome (MS), focusing on IDH-mutated tumors and their origins.
- It proposes that a single IDH-mutant cell could lead to various tumors due to early embryonic mutations and that not all mutated cells will display the IDH mutant characteristics.
- Additionally, it suggests that specific genetic predispositions (SNPs) may increase the likelihood of developing particular tumors in these patients, linking developmental defects to tumor occurrence.

Enchondromas are a common tumor in bone that can occur as multiple lesions in enchondromatosis, which is associated with deformity of the affected bone. These lesions harbor somatic mutations in IDH and driving expression of a mutant Idh1 in Col2 expressing cells in mice causes an enchondromatosis phenotype. Here we compared growth plates from E18.

Introduction: Leg length discrepancy (LLD) and malalignment of long bones are frequent orthopedic problems encountered in Maffucci syndrome and Ollier disease (OD). Orthopedic surgeons used historically external fixators to address the deformities. In this multicentric case series, we propose the use of motorized intramedullary nails.
