Treatment of Osteochondroma
The treatment for the disorder depends on the type of the tumor that an individual is having. The treatment options for Osteochondroma growths include:

NONSURGICAL TREATMENT
In the majority of cases of solitary growths of this nature, treatment involves careful observation extending over a period of time. To keep track of any changes in the growth, doctors may wish to use x-rays on a regular basis. This is true for both solitary and multiple cases of the tumors.

SURGICAL TREATMENT
The indications for surgical removal, for both types of tumors, are:

Pain
Presence of a large cartilage lap
Pressure on the blood vessels and nerves

Complete removal of an Osteochondroma involves performing an operative process known as Excision. In this method, the tumor is removed at the level of the unaffected bone. Defects such as knock-knee or ankles may need surgical help to straighten the bone.

If multiple Osteochondroma growths turn malignant, surgical cure will depend on the stage of progression of the cancer. Generally, surgery is used to remove malignant tumors. Often, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are used along with operation.
