Wrist and Hand Melorheostosis: Case Report With Surgical Consideration

Melorheostosis is a rare, sporadic, benign bone disorder with an unclear cause. We present a case report of a 34-year-old man with chronic deformity secondary to melorheostosis. He complained of deformity and limited range of motion affecting his functionality. Surgical debulking of the sclerotic lesion was performed. The clinical outcome was satisfactory with no signs of recurrence at 9-months follow-up.

Abstract

Melorheostosis is a rare, sporadic, benign bone disorder with an unclear cause. We present a case report of a 34-year-old man with chronic deformity secondary to melorheostosis. He complained of deformity and limited range of motion affecting his functionality. Surgical debulking of the sclerotic lesion was performed. The clinical outcome was satisfactory with no signs of recurrence at 9-months follow-up.
