Dr. Paley is best known for his landmark research in the field of limb lengthening and deformity correction. His 800 page textbook
Principles of Deformity Correction is considered the Bible of deformity correction surgery. It was first published in 2001 and has
been republished in 2005 by Springer. Dr. Paley has also published 4 other books. He is also the author of 47 book chapters, 129
peer reviewed journal articles, and 54 video productions. He has presented over 1000 lectures at International Orthopaedic Society
conferences and over 900 lectures at North American Society conferences. He has served on The MHE Research Foundation
Scientific and Medical Advisory Board since its inception and presented lectures on all aspects of MHE treatment for both children
and adults. He has also served as as speaker and Orthopaedic Chair during the MHE Research conferences. He is the world leader
in developing new comprehensive surgical procedures to treat the complex bone deformities that occur in MHE patients. His
landmark contributions on the treatment of the hip and forearm in MHE have significantly changed the function of many children
and adults with this condition. He speaks, writes, reads and lectures in six different languages. Dr. Paley is married to Jennifer and
has four children.
Dr. Paley was the founder and first president of the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society of North America in 1989, and
one of the founders of ASAMI International. He was elected the President of the International Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction
Society organized the annual meeting in Miami in 2015. He is the recipient of numerous local, regional, national and international
awards both from orthopedic and non-orthopedic groups. He was awarded a Gubernatorial Citation by the State of Maryland for his
humanitarian work and was voted Health Professional of the Year by the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce. He has been made an

May 22, 2016 Abstract
Multiple Hereditary Exostoses / Multiple Osteochondroma: Orthopaedic Treatment Strategies
Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE) / Multiple Osteochondroma is an autosomal dominant condition of disordered bone growth,
characterized by the multiple cartilaginous capped bony prominences (Exostoses or Osteochondromas). The condition is genetically
heterogenous, with three distinct chromosomal foci identified (EXT1, EXT2, EXT3). The overall incidence is estimated at 1 per
50,000. The Exostoses / Osteochondromas initially emanate from the metaphyses of long bones, and create growth disturbances,
resulting in upper and lower extremity deformities, which can be technically and intellectually challenging to treat. During the clinical
session, we will discuss the current understanding of the etiology of MHE, and the overall medical treatment strategies, as well as
discuss the characteristic limb deformities of MHE/Mo and strategies for correction.
