Abstract:
Osteochondromas are one of the most commonly observed benign bone tumors. Although there have been a number of experimental studies carried out to determine the origin of osteochondromas, their etiology remains a controversial issue. A well-documented case is presented in which a displaced Salter-Harris type II physeal fracture preceded the development of an osteochondroma.
