Adult: 65 years old
Location:
Melbourne Victoria
Australia
Areas affected: left ankle
Personal History:
I
had a left ankle x-ray 20th January 2012 which identified
melorheostosis. The report says,
Longitudinal ridge of sclerosis within the distal tibia along its anterior
medial aspect with candle wax type pattern, typical of melorheostosis.
I was born in
Belfast Northern Ireland and am currently living Melbourne Victoria Australia.
I
have not had any symptoms apart from a slight feeling of tightness in that area.
I have always felt I have a very slight shortening in that limb.
I
have had no treatment. I have a referral to see Mr Mark Blackney a Melbourne
Australia orthopaedic specialist. The referral is in relation to an old ankle
injury where a bone has been chipped. I may have an arthroscopy & he may be
interested in doing a biopsy of the melo. If he does a biopsy I would be
interested to donate tissue. However I will need to be reassured that biopsy of
the thing will not lead to adverse consequences!!! However my appointment is
not until the 3rd of December 2012 such is the backlog of this
particular surgeon.
My referring doctor is Dr Tracey Peters Lifecare Malvern, 91 Wattletree Rd
Armadale Victoria 3143. +61395098844 Fax +61395096244
If you need more information I will be happy to provide what I can.
Yours sincerely,
Rosemary Clarke
