Most lesions are discovered incidentally and treated only by observation. If you remain asymptomatic can be ignored. Lesionsthat cause mechanical symptoms become painful, increase orcause growth defects are treated by surgical removal.
Osteocondroamele solitary can grow large enough to require surgery. They may be fragmented with osteotomy. The procedureis performed only when the skeleton has matured. If resection isperformed on the immature skeleton may injure the growth plateresulting in deformities.
Surgery for limb length discrepancy benefit from correctiveosteotomy. The excision is important to avoid local recurrence due to residual tumor fragments. Recurrence rate is less than 2%. The risk is greater in the immature skeleton.
Prognosis:
For osteocondroamele solitary evolution and prognosis is excellentafter surgery. The process is benign and therefore full recovery isrecorded.
There is an appreciable morbidity from resectionosteocondroamelor corrective surgery and bone deformities.Resection should be performed only when the skeleton is mature, ifthe lesion is symptomatic.
