What is exostosis?
Exostosis is benign bone growth. This may occur anywhere in the body and can be caused by a number of different things, from the stress of environmental to genetics. When someone develops exostosis, growth can be painful or aesthetically resentment, in this case surgery is treatment options. In other cases, the growth may remain to remain, while the doctor monitors it to identify any early symptoms of complications that may occur. The classic example known as Surfer's ear occurs when bones grow into the ear canal, apparently in response to frequent floods with cold water. The patient begins to have difficult hearing and may have pain in the ears caused by bony growth. The surgeon can remove the bone and restore the hearing and comfort of the patient. Another form, buccal exostosis, includes the jaw, the lower jaw is more susceptible than the upper jaw.
The joint damage will also cause exostosis. In this case, the joint voltage has a small or near or near the development of a small bone deposit. Closely related state, oSteocartilagine exostosis, involves bone and cartilage growth. This condition is also known as osteochondrome and tends to appear at the ends of long bones. This benign bone tumor can be left in place or removed, depending on whether it disrupts the patient's quality of life.
Exostosis may also occur spontaneously, without a clear cause of the environment. Some patients are known as hereditary multiple exostosis (HME), in which exostoses occur randomly through the body due to inherited state. In a family with a history of this condition, people can watch children in development so that they can soon detect signs of bone growth.
This condition can be identified by a doctor who can make X -rays, explore the patient and interview to learn more. Once the extent of exostosis is determined, the doctor may talk about treatment options. Conservative approach includes trackingAnd waiting, leaving on the spot and regular checks to confirm that this is not a problem. More aggressive treatment involves surgery to remove growth. If the surgery is performed, the doctor may talk to the patient about the causes to see if any activities can be adjusted or avoided to prevent growth.
