Melorheostosis: clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and management
Orthopedics.
2009 Jul.
Abstract
Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing bone disease. This article describes the histological patterns and radiographic characteristics commonly associated with melorheostosis. A paucity of compiled data about the disease in the literature necessitated a comprehensive review to further define its management.
