[Melorheostosis (case history).].
The authors present the case of a patient with a diagnosis at the age of 10 of melorheostosis affecting the left lower extermity with the reduction of flexion in the knee joint as a dominant finding. Despite the releasing operation on the soft tissue complicated by infection in the wound and dihescence there is a continuous progress in the reduction of the range of motion in the knee causing ever greater difficulties for the patient. Authors point out some specific features of this disease the incidence of which is 1 :1 000 000 and describe the plan of further treatment.
