Article Synopsis
- Melorheostosis is a rare bone condition that causes a unique radiological appearance and can lead to pain and mobility issues, as seen in an 80-year-old male with a decade-long history of left ankle pain and rigidity.
- Despite conservative treatments like physical therapy and custom orthotics not improving his symptoms, surgery involving osteotectomy and Achilles tendon lengthening greatly enhanced his pain relief and mobility.
- This case underscores the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical options for managing melorheostosis and improving quality of life, while also emphasizing the need for long-term follow-up to monitor for possible recurring issues.
