Abstract
A case of Ollier's disease with deformity and shortening of the humerus is presented. Lengthening of 9 cm and deformity correction of 50 degrees were accomplished with excellent functional and cosmetic results. Unique features of this case were the use of a multiaxial correction monolateral frame and the formation of normal bone within the region of diseased Ollier's bone.
