Solitary Benign Enchondroma of the Long Bones of the Hand. Results of Curettage and Packing with Freeze-Dried Cancellous-Bone Allograft.

摘要

Solitary benign enchondroma of bone was defined by Jaffe and Lichtenstein as a 'benign cartilaginous growth which begins its development in the interior of an affected bone and involves only a single bone in any one subject.' The purpose of this paper is to report the excellent results achieved with freeze-dried cancellous bone supplied by the Navy Tissue Bank in the treatment of solitary enchondromas of the long bones of the hand.
