Surgical Treatment of Enchondromas of the Hand: Our Experience in Curettage Only and Early Mobilization

(1) Background: Enchondroma is one of the most common primary tumors of the hand. Usually asymptomatic, it can present with pain, deformity, and sometimes pathologic fractures. Surgical treatment is advised in these cases. Curettage is the basic treatment, but there is no consensus in the literature regarding post-void filling. The aim of our study is to present simple curettage and early mobilization as a safe and effective treatment. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients treated at our center between 2020 and 2024. Each patient was treated with simple curettage and early mobilization. We collected demographic data and follow-up data. (3) Conclusions: We recorded no complications in our cohort, pointing out that our method is safe and reliable without any kind of immobilization. Bone grafts and other methods such as cement are good options but should be considered in specific cases.

Abstract

(1) Background: Enchondroma is one of the most common primary tumors of the hand. Usually asymptomatic, it can present with pain, deformity, and sometimes pathologic fractures. Surgical treatment is advised in these cases. Curettage is the basic treatment, but there is no consensus in the literature regarding post-void filling. The aim of our study is to present simple curettage and early mobilization as a safe and effective treatment. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients treated at our center between 2020 and 2024. Each patient was treated with simple curettage and early mobilization. We collected demographic data and follow-up data. (3) Conclusions: We recorded no complications in our cohort, pointing out that our method is safe and reliable without any kind of immobilization. Bone grafts and other methods such as cement are good options but should be considered in specific cases.
