<b>Retracted:</b> Supracondylar Osteochondroma in a Black South African Population

Abstract

This journal has been retracted by the Editor.

Osteochondroma is a condition characterized by a benign outgrowth of bone  on the surface of another bone. The present study reports the presence of  osteochondroma in the supracondylar region of the right femur of a Black  South African during a routine osteological study. The diameter of the   exostosis measured 15.7 mm at the tip and 26.3 mm at the base. The exostosis is about 30.8 mm from the base of the epicondyle. It is 24.8 mm in length. Gross examination suggests a feature of osteochondroma.
