Abstract

Ankle valgus in multiple hereditary exostoses (HME) is frequently seen and may result in activity related pain, deformity, or even early degenerative arthritis. Standard treatment protocols do not exist. The effect of medial screw hemiepiphysedesis of the distal tibia to correct ankle valgus is evaluated in this patient population.
