Core Tip	This case report focuses on the natural history of phalangeal exostosis and its association with angular deformities of the fingers. We have demonstrated that the timely excision of the juxta physeal exostosis would allow the surgeon to achieve acute correction of the angular deformity, improvement of hand function, and unimpeded development of fine and gross motor skills. Significant delay of excision until skeletal maturity might necessitate corrective osteotomy of the finger deformity & tendon release for intrinsic tightness. Despite complete excision in paediatric patients, close follow-up is required for the progression of deformity and recurrence. Our patient post excision had attained full functional recovery and deformity correction and no recurrence at two year follow up.
