Can deformity of the knee and longitudinal growth of the leg be predicted in patients with hereditary multiple exostoses?
Future studies analysing if surgical excision improves knee function and limits deformity would need to assess whether this is dependent upon anatomical site, as our results suggest that distal femoral exostoses may have the greatest affect upon these outcomes.
Acetone was not found to be superior to the other agents. Furthermore, the flashpoint of acetone is markedly lower than the others, making it more flammable and hazardous in the workplace. The use of alternative degreasers may lessen or eliminate this hazard.
