Summary
Spontaneous regression of exostoses, a rare skeletal disorder event, is described in two new cases. This study presents radiographic findings and explores theories behind this unusual phenomenon in solitary and multiple heritable exostoses.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Skeletal Biology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Exostoses are common skeletal disorders with poorly understood origins and behavior.
- Spontaneous regression of exostoses is an extremely rare event, often debated in scientific literature.
