Abstract
We prospectively studied the results of treating 17 forearms in 15 patients with deformities
due to Hereditary Multiple Exostoses by excision of the osteochondroma and gradual
lengthening of the ulna with external fixator. Results showed significant improvement in both
clinical and radiological findings. Using a Hybrid Ilizarov with no transfixing wires being
replaced by half-pins, adding an intramedullary k-wire guiding the ulnar lengthening and over
lengthening of the ulna to overcome the expected recurrence ulnar shortening in skeletally
immature patients were very reliable improving overall results.
