Abstract
This case report presents a rare occurrence of exostosis of the ulna associated with a developmental deformity of the left forearm in a 15-year-old female. The patient reported a history of trauma resulting in a supracondylar humerus fracture managed conservatively eight years prior. The patient presented with a two-year history of pain and swelling over the left forearm. Clinical examination revealed a firm, non-tender, immobile swelling closely associated with the ulna, accompanied by a 20-degree cubitus varus deformity and forearm shortening. Radiographs and computed tomography scans confirmed the presence of a solitary external bony protuberance over the ulna shaft, communicating with the medullary cavity. A preliminary diagnosis of osteochondroma was established based on clinical and imaging findings. The patient underwent extraperiosteal en bloc resection of the lesion under supraclavicular nerve block anesthesia. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperative physiotherapy was initiated, and at the one-month follow-up, the patient reported being pain-free. This case highlights the rarity of exostosis of the ulna with associated developmental deformity, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach. Early surgical intervention resulted in a successful outcome, underscoring the significance of timely management in improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
