title: Autologous transplantation of the interphalangeal joint: a case report.
abstract: A 35-year-old woman presented with a pathological fracture of a solitary cystic enchondroma in the proximal phalanx of her right index finger (extending to the articular surface with expansion of the cortex). The affected segment was excised and reconstructed with an autograft from the proximal phalanx of her right third toe. At the 2-year follow-up, the graft was well taken, the articular cartilage was intact, and the range of motion was good. There was no evidence of osteoarthrosis.
