Abstract

Multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) produces characteristic deformities of the forearm leading to problems at the wrist and elbow. Understanding the patho-anatomy allows one to correct all these deformities in a single or staged fashion. Two complementary cases, both in skeletally immature patients, are presented side by side to illustrate the scope of deformity and treatment.
