Does the management of osteofibrous dysplasia of the tibia and fibula in children should be tailored to the extent and location of the lesion? A case control study investigating different surgical options.
Abstract
Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare non neoplastic, self-limited intracortical fibro-osseous lesion that most commonly affects the diaphysis of the tibia and fibula of children, the best treatment is still debated. Therefore we performed a retrospective study in children mostly under 10 years old with OFD aiming to determine whether early surgery is necessary and which is the best treatment.
