Bilateral Both Bone Leg Fracture in a Case of Hereditary Multiple Exostoses with Bilateral Proximal and Distal Tibiofibular Synostosis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The Hereditary Multiple Exostoses ( HME) is a neoplastic disorder affecting multiple skeletal sites in the form of bony protuberances of varying sizes and shapes . The clinical features are site specific and mostly relate to the effect of swelling on the adjacent tissues . Associated abnormalities like bowing deformities of bones, shortening and mechanical axes deviations may lead to increased risk of stresses over the bones . Associated tibiofibular synostosis if present can further complicate the aforementioned problems .We present a rare and previously unreported case of bilateral both bone leg fracture following low energy shear and torsion mechanism in the setting of bilateral tibiofibular synostosis . The condition was satisfactorily managed conservatively owing to minimal displaced fracture patterns and patient compliance to the treatment
