Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of therapy for osteochondroma. Surgery for osteochondroma should be considered, until bone growth is complete (assessed by mature skeleton x-ray evaluation)
Surgery
- Surgery for osteochondroma should be considered, until bone growth is complete (assessed by mature skeleton by x-ray evaluation).[1]
- This approach decreases the chance of the tumoral recurrence.
- Pedunculated osteochondromas are more easily removed.
- Solitary osteochondromas are not removed surgically; observational surveillance is suggested.
- Transformation to chondrosarcoma is generally treated with wide surgical resection and limb salvage.[2]
Indications
Indications for surgery for osteochondroma, include:[1]
- Pain with physical activity
- Bone deformity
- Limited range of motion
- Compromised nerve or blood vessel
- Irregular large cap of cartilage (> 2cm)[2]
