I Alawneh, and H R Willmen, and A Giovannini

The problems of the enchondroma of the hand, its diagnostics and treatment if discussed in this paper. 12 cases of handskeletonenchondroma, 9 with pathological fracture, 3 without fracture, are the occasion of this report. The treatment is in our opinion the scraping of infested tissue (excochleation) and filling the defect with bonemeal and immobilise the hand in plaster-bandage for 4 to 5 weeks. 8 to 12 weeks after operation the defect and fracture were consolidated.
