Abstract

A patient with melorheostosis of the right lower limb is described with the clinical findings and radiographic appearances which include angiographs and microradiographs. Tissue was taken from the knee joint at the time of arthrodesis and examined by histological, histochemical and biomechanical techniques. It is concluded that the bone in melorheostosis is not different from normal bone.
