Ulnar lengthening for children with forearm deformity from hereditary multiple exostoses: a retrospective study from a tertiary medical center
Exostosis resection and ulna lengthening with unilateral external fixation can effectively improve the function and radiological parameters of forearm deformity in HME children. For patients with radial head dislocation, early surgery can achieve better results. For patients not associated with radial head dislocation, we recommend regular follow-up and surgical treatment after 10 years of age.
