Phenolization and coralline hydroxyapatite grafting following meticulous curettage for the treatment of enchondroma of the hand. A case series of 82 patients with 5-year follow-up

摘要

BackgroundEnchondromas are benign cartilaginous tumours. The most common location is in the long bones of the hand. Treatment methods fall into a broad spectrum ranging from conservative, medical therapies, to a variety of surgical procedures, which may or may not employ the use of local adjuvant treatment or bone grafting. The purpose of this study was to report our experience and evaluate the long-term results of patients with enchondroma of the hand, treated in our department with meticulous curettage, phenolization and coralline hydroxyapatite grafting.
