Is the treatment of enchondroma in the hand by simple curettage a rewarding method?

P Tordai et al. J Hand Surg Br. 1990 Aug.

Abstract

46 enchondromata of the hand have been treated by simple curettage without bone grafting. 82% healed and 16% were left with only small bone defects. Only one patient had a clear-cut recurrence requiring re-operation. This simple method, performed on out-patient basis, is recommended.
