Objectives : This study was done for reporting effect of moxibustion therapy on the degenerative arthritis of knee joint with osteochondroma. Methods : Two patient with degenerative arthritis of knee joint with osteochondroma was treated by moxibustion therapy. We applied moxibustion therapy three times a day for 12 days(three days per week). To investigate effectiveness of treatment we used visual analogue scale, Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities. Results : 1. The moxibustion therapy deceased knee joint pain. 2. As a result of evaluation by visual analogue scale, Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities the score marked lower than before treatment and after treatment. Conclusion : Moxibustion therapy decreased knee joint pain that patient have degenerative arthritis of knee joint with osteochondroma.

Osteochondroma is a benign lesion of osseous and cartilagenous origin. It is a relatively common benign tumor of the skeleton, occurring most often in the metaphyseal region of long bone. However, it is rare in the facial bones. Reported foci in the mandible were the condyle, coronoid process, and symphysis region. Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon benign condition of unknown etiology which affects the articular joints. Foci of cartilage develop through metaplasia in the underlying connective tissue of the synovial membrane. These cartilagenous foci and fragments may undergo calcification and ossification. We experienced 4 patients with abnormal appearance of mandibular condyle. This report describes 3 cases of osteocondroma and 1 case of synovial chondromatosis of the mandibular condyle with review of the literature.

The solitary osteochondroma is a hamartoma of the skeleton which derives from an aberrant subperiosteal germ of the fertile cartilage. Osteochondromas, which are uncommon in the hand can occur at the distal end of the proximal and middle phalanx away from the epiphyseal plate region. We experienced a rare case of solitary osteochondroma arising from distal end of fifth proximal phalanx of hand, and limiting the active motion of proximal interphalangeal joint. The patient was treated by marginal excision and tumor showed characteristic microscopic findings of osteochondroma.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by metaplastic formation of multiple cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous nodules within connective tissue of the synovial membrane of joints. Osteochondroma is a benign lesion of osseous and cartilagenous origin. It is frequently found in the general skeleton, but is rare in the mandibular condyle. We experienced 2 patients with abnormal appearance of temporomandibular joint. Histologic diagnoses were not obtained, because surgery was unwarranted in view of the lack of symptoms and the benign differential diagnosis. We describes 2 cases that show the characteristics of both disease simultaneously.

Osteochondroma is one of the most common benign tumors that occur in the bone, but in the head and neck region, osteochondroma appears rarely. Malocclusion, temporomandiublar disorders and facial asymmetry can occur in most cases with osteochondroma of the mandibular condyle. Most surgeons prefer massive removal of osteochondroma and reconstruction of condyle, simultaneously, to prevent various complications, such as a lateral open bite on the contralateral side. We report a surgical treatment and reconstruction of osteochondroma on a mandibular condyle through intraoral approach.

Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor which commonly occurs in the metaphysis of the long bones such as proximal humerus, tibia, and distal femur. It is rarely found in bones of the foot. Although they are benign lesions, when they occur in the foot, they are typically identified earlier than other regions because of the low proliferation of subcutaneous tissue in the region and may cause symptoms. We experienced a rare case of osteochondroma in a 60-year-old male which cause pain and swelling of the fourth toe.

Small osteophytes are frequently encountered in the foot and ankle, and not to be confused with true osteochondromas, which are relatively uncommon in this region. Osteochondromas are the most common benign osseous neoplasm, occurs in the metaphysis of the long bone. It is rarely found in bones of the foot. Treatment of the osteochondroma is usually conservative, unless symptoms usually pain, are progressive rapid growth, and malignant transformation is suspected. We experienced a rare case of hallux rigidus with osteochondroma of the hallucal proximal phalanx which cause pain and corn of the plantar.

Osteochondromas, the most common tumor of the scapula, are one type of bone abnormality that may cause symptomatic scapula pseudowinging. This type of scapula winging is structural and maybe associated with significant scapula crepitus. We describe a case of a scapular solitary osteochondroma, arised from the ventral surface of the scapula in a 15-year-old boy, produced pseudowinging and scapula crepitus. The winging and scapula crepitus are alleviated with resection of the bony abnormality.

Although osteochondromas are common lesions, osteochondroma accompanying diastasis of the ankle joint in a child or adult is an uncommon condition. No previous cases of distal tibiofibular diastasis caused by an osteochondroma in adult have been reported except in child. The authurs experienced a case of mild distal tibiofibular diastasis secondary to an osteochondroma in a 37-year-old female presented with right ankle pain. Osteochondroma of the distal tibiofibular joint were detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). She was pain-free 4 weeks after excision of the osteochondroma. The patient has remained asymptomatic for 1 years postoperatively. Early excision obviates the need for complex reconstructive surgery to correct ankle deformity later.

Osteochondroma, which is an osteocartilaginous exostosis, is essentially the most common primary bone tumor. These benign neoplasms are generally asymptomatic and have a relatively small potential for adverse effects. Calcaneal osteochondroma is rare, furthermore osteochondroma accompanying with gouty arthritis is very rare. Also, the subtalar joint is not a classic site of acute gout. In this report, we report the case of a patient who experienced an unusual calcaneal osteochondroma with undiagnosed gouty arthritis of the subtalar joint.
