Abstract

Hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) is an autosomal dominant disorder manifested by the presence of multiple osteochondromas. Although the lesions are benign in nature, exostoses are often associated with characteristic progressive skeletal deformity and displaying clinical symptoms such as mechanical irritation or impingement. We present the successful arthroscopic resection in a 24-year-old HME male with impingement syndrome and long head tendon tear of the biceps caused by osteochondroma arising from the distal clavicle.
