Extractions: I read an interesting abstract from a paper published in 1997 in Argentina, about two women who had good results with using calcium supplements and pamidronate. They both had what is called high bone turnover with their illness, so I don't know whether this paper would even apply to your particular case. You might want to print this out and talk with your doctor about it.

Extractions: Melorheostosis often is disabling because of progressive contracture of the joint and soft tissue involved. Operative intervention often is hazardous and patients also have recurrences. A 14-year, 2-month-old boy, who presented with a recurrent equinoplanovalgus deformity of the right foot caused by melorheostosis, was treated successfully using the Ilizarov technique, including distraction osteotomy in the calcaneus. The patient had a painless, plantigrade, and functional foot at age 18 years.

Extractions: Case Report for discussion This girl had progressive and abnormal growth of the index finger of her left hand which was not enlarged at birth but grew steadily after birth. The hand did not resemble a typical macrodactyly in that there was peculiarities of cortical bone growth as seen in the scans and these abnormalities were particularly confined to the ulnar surface. Surgical exploration did not reveal any evidence of lipomatous infiltration at the digital nerves. Suggested explanations have included fibrous dysplasia and there are no endocrine or metabolic abnormalities. Does anybody have a suggestion for diagnosis or investigation here?

Melorheostosis is a rare bone dysplasia of unknown etiology. It causes uncharacteristic symptoms such as pain, joint stiffness, soft tissue contractures and limb deformities. Standard radiology reveals the diagnosis. There is no standard therapy. Melorheostosis is important as a differential diagnosis for bone tumours, primarily osteosarcoma.
