title: Finger enchondroma treated with bone substituents - a case presentation.
abstract: About 90% of the hand bone tumors are enchondromas. Treatment of choice is complete curettage and bone grafting, usually with bone autografts. We present a case of finger enchondroma in a 27-year-old female patient who was treated with curettage and synthetic bone grafting. Clinical, surgical and pathological findings in this case are presented along with a brief discussion of literature.
