Abstract
A 17 year old female presents with a chief complaint of a deformed left humerus. She has a diagnosis of Ollier disease. Secondary to her encondromas that altered physeal growth, she developed a short humerus and valgus deformity limiting her basic and advanced daily activities. A correction with a Taylor spatial frame (TSF) was performed achieving a good correction with a symmetric humeral length. An elbow flexion contracture developed during the treatment that resolved with physical therapy and a custom-made removable orthosis.
