Biplanar EOS screening in children with hereditary multiple osteochondromas: a feasible screening method?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children with Hereditary Multiple Ostechondromas (HMO) require regular screening to identify gradual dysplasia or osteochondromas that need surgery. EOS biplanar imaging enables interpretation of weight-bearing malalignment with low ionizing radiation exposure.

Objective

To determine whether EOS can be used as a screening method for presence of osteochondromas and frontal plane malalignment in the lower extremities in HMO children.

Methods

Presence of ostechondromas was determined in the lower extremities in ten children [age: 14.5(10-20) years, six males] using EOS. Also, frontal plane malalignment was registered. Further, patient reported experience measures (PREM) were collected through a questionnaire. EOS findings were compared with conventional whole-
