Enchondroma represents a common bone tumor of the hand. The scaphoid is a rare location. We report the case of a scaphoid enchondroma presenting as chronic wrist pain following a relatively minor trauma. The diagnosis was suggested by radiological study and then confirmed by histological study after biopsy. Enucleation and vascularized bone graft with osteosynthesis provided good results. The clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of this rare condition are discussed.
Double dislocation of the proximal (PIP) and the distal interphalangeal (DIP) remains an extremely rare entity. The association with a metacarpal fracture of the same hand reflects the violence of the trauma. We report a case of simultaneous bipolar dorsal dislocation of the interphalangeal joints of the fourth finger associated with a fracture of the 3rd metacarpal bone, managed by a closed reduction and neighbour strapping associated with a plastered cuff, with a good out came.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
