Overview
There are no established direct causes for osteochondroma. The development of hereditary multiple osteochondroma may be the result of multiple genetic mutations.[1]
Causes
It is thought to arise during skeletal growth when bone grows away from the growth plate instead of in line with it. Because the cause of solitary osteochondroma is unknown, doctors have not been able to find a way to prevent it.
