Appearance
- Patients are usually well-appearing
Vital Signs
- Weak pulse in affected extremity
- Hypothermia may be present
Skin
- Pallor of affected extremity may be present
Extremities
- A hard, immobile, and painless palpable mass may be appreciated on physical examination.
- Muscle atrophy and palpable tenderness may be present.
- The assessment of osteochondroma during physical examination, should include:[2]
- Location
- Edema
