Our aim was to investigate the outcome of excision ofosteochondromas. Between 1994 and 1998, 92 symptomatic osteochondromas in 86 patients were excised. There were 40 women and 46 men with a mean age of 20 years (3 to 62). Of these, 56 had a solitary osteochondroma and 30 had multiple hereditary tumours. The presenting symptoms were pain (79.1%), swelling (23.3%), reduced range of movement (19.8%), cosmetic abnormalities (17.4%), and bursitis (12.8%). The most common site (37.6%) was around the knee. Four patients had major complications (4.7%) including one intra-operative fracture of the femoral neck and three nerve palsies which resolved after decompression. Six patients had minor complications. Overall, 93.4% of the preoperative symptoms resolved after excision of the tumours. Excision is a successful form of treatment for symptomatic osteochondromas with a low morbidity.
