ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of bilateral fracture of the thigh bone that occurred in a 22 year old man with multiple exostosis. Clinical deformities, radiology and histology confirmed the diagnosis. Traumatic fractures were caused by a road accident. The treatment, because of deformities, consisted of an open fire synthesis of the both thigh bones with Küntscher's nails. The post-operative evolution was marked by rapid healing of fractures. The scarcity of this genetic affection and the symmetrical lesions have lead the authors to conduct a literature review.
