Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Enchondroma is one type of benign cartilage tumour that appears inside the bone. These tumours usually begin and grow in childhood, then stop growing but remain throughout adulthood. They are often found in patients between 10 and 20 years of age. Some cases become dormant or burned out. History: Our case was a 30 yr old female patient who presented with a hard painless swelling over right hand thumb since last five months with restriction of terminal range of motion & pain at carpo-metacarpal joint but no restriction at metacarpo-phalangeal joint. Treatment: The growth was excised without disturbing articular margins & cavity was filled with cancellous bony strut auto graft derived from iliac crest and this reconstruction was fixed with k-wire. Result: The patient was followed up at 2-month, 4month, 6 month and 1 year intervals. Currently she shows a good range of motion of both the metacarpo-phalangeal and the interphalangeal joint.
