Abstract
A series of 92 cases of cartilagenous exostosis were reviewed in regard to problems of heredity, malignant transformation, and surgical techniques for malformation of the forehand. Of 92 cases, 57 solitary were and 35 multiple. Most patients at first consultation were in their second decade.
Prevalent lesions were the wrist and knee regions. Heredity, which appeared to be autosomal dominant, was found in six patients among 35 cases with multiple lesions. Malignant transformation was found in only two cases. Malformation of the forearm seemed to be treated well by lengthening of the ulna.
