Multiple Enchondromas of the Hand in Children: Long-Term Follow-Up of Mean 15.4 Years

Conclusions: Our findings reassure that malignant transformation of enchodromatosis of the hand is unlikely in the pediatric population. Pathologic fracture is common, but has excellent outcomes. When considering surgery, parents should be counseled about the possibility of phalangeal growth arrest and recurrence of the lesion. Type of Study/Level of Evidence: Level IV—therapeutic.
