    Re: Melorheostosis with foot and ankle

    Melorheostosis

    Melorheostosis is a medical developmental disorder and mesenchymal dysplasia in which the bony cortex widens and becomes hyperdense in a sclerotomal distribution. The condition begins in childhood and is characterized by thickening of the bones. Pain is a frequent symptom and the bone can have the appearance of dripping candle wax.[1]

    Good afternoon everyone,
    Hope you are all going well.
    Have a unique case I've never seen before and wondered if anyone had any experience with it.
    Shared with patient consent, 5 year old girl, only complaint was left 3rd digit clawing and causing thick toenail. On recent X-ray, sclerotic changes on several bones on left foot only. Radiologist reported potential Melorheostosis. Patient has been referred to an orthopaedic surgeon for opinion and further imaging. In meantime, toe clawing responding well to kinesiology taping using an over and under pattern for toes 2 to 4 'hammock style'. Best wishes, Nicholas
