title: Multiple hereditary osteochondromatosis. Two cases with ankle and knee deformities.
abstract: Two case histories of multiple hereditary osteochondromatosis are presented. Multiple hereditary exostoses are the most common inherited systemic disorder of bone. The presence of ankle deformity in 50% of the cases and the potential for malignant transformation make this an important disease for the clinician to be familiar with.
