title: Ollier disease: an interdisciplinary approach.
abstract: Ollier disease is a bone disorder characterized by the development of cartilaginous lesions which lead to a variety of bony deformities. Orthopaedic treatment is specific to the resulting deformity, and nursing care will vary according to the individual treatment plan. Successful intervention requires an interdisciplinary approach to care that addresses both physiologic and psychologic concerns. Nursing plays a vital role in both direct interaction with the patient and family and coordination with other disciplines. Long-range care must also include monitoring patients for possible malignant changes.
