Editing Hereditary multiple exostoses (section)

=== Pain ===
According to self-reports, a far majority of patients experience pain, and about half experience generalized pain. Individuals who had HME-related complications were five times more likely to have pain, while those who had surgery were 3.8 times more likely to have pain. No differences were found between males and females with respect to pain, surgery, or HME-related complications.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Darilek S, Wicklund C, Novy D, Scott A, Gambello M, Johnston D, Hecht J | title = Hereditary multiple exostosis and pain | journal = Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics | volume = 25 | issue = 3 | pages = 369–376 | date = May 2005 | pmid = 15832158 | doi = 10.1097/01.bpo.0000150813.18673.ad | s2cid = 27884079 }}</ref>
