hi friend,
hw r u? well some things are beyond our controll.
Surgery and complete removal is the only available solution.

Do take a second opinion.

Thanks for the answer! This is my fear too that I have to do surgery from year to year in this manner, because it is in the area where is the sciatic nerv route , near tibia and perhoneus, and is formed a bone! Is there any other solution than surgery?

hi mcbota,
exostoses can reoccur . chances of reoccurances are more it it was not removed properly.
Anyways now you have got no choice but the go for another surgery soon.
