Osteochondroma

Osteochondroma

Osteochondroma is AN overgrowth of gristle and bone that happens at the top of the bone close to the expansion plate. Most often, it affects the long bones within the leg, the pelvis, or the bone. nonmalignant tumour is that the commonest noncancerous bone growth. It most frequently happens between ages ten and thirty. Osteochondroma is a type of non-cancerous tumor that forms near the growth plate on the bone surface. It begins to develop during childhood or adolescence. In this condition, bone growth occurs around the growth plate and, as the child's body develops, with the growth of the child, the osteochondroma also grows and the growth plates harden and form also solid bone. An osteochondroma is made up of both bone and cartilage and is the growth of the growth plate. When the child is fully developed, the osteochondroma also stops growing. Thus, in most cases, no treatment is required, except regular monitoring to identify any changes or complications. The osteochondroma can develop in a single tumor or in several tumors. It can be congenital or occur due to trauma to the growth plate that may have occurred previously. Open access journals are peer-reviewed scientific journals on the osteochondroma. The best open access journals are available for free on the public Internet, allowing any end user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of articles. These provide a high quality publication, meticulously revised and quick, to meet the pressing needs of the scientific community.
