Abstract
Diaphyseal aclasis (multiple hereditary exostoses) occurs in the bones developed in cartilage and gives rise to cartilage-capped exostoses. It usually affects the ends of the diaphyses of long bones of extremities (McKusick, 1972). Although the phalanges of the fingers may be shorter than normal, no record could be found of significant deformity. A case of digital deformity is described below.
