Abstract

Background  Enchondromas are the most common primary tumors in the small tubular bones of the hand, and fractures are often the result of thinned cortical bone. The main question was whether fractured enchondromas influence long-term clinical and radiological outcomes. Methods  Between 2000 and 2019, 57 patients with previously treated fractured (group I) and non-fractured (group II) hand enchondromas (34 female, 23 male; mean age 39.4 ± 13.7 years) were evaluated for clinical and radiological treatment outcomes. Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) and Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaires as well as patient-reported experience measures were used to assess subjective health outcomes. Subsequently, 43 patients underwent clinical and radiological follow-ups. Comparative evaluation of objective treatment outcomes in both groups was conducted in terms of hand functionality, perioperative complications, recurrence rates, and osteogenesis. Results  Almost half of the patients suffered enchondromas with fractures (49.1%, n  = 28). Two patients received additional k-wire stabilization due to intraoperative instability. Defect resolution could be reached in 97.7% ( n  = 42) of all cases. No recurrence of enchondroma was observed. Groups were equal regarding radiological and clinical outcomes. The patient-reported experiences were predominantly positive (86%), and both cohorts had good to very good results with a DASH mean score of 4 (± 6.3). The SF-36 demonstrated a return to normal quality of life in both groups. The mean follow-up time was 7.78 years (± 4.8). Conclusion  Sole curettage of enchondromas yields effective outcomes with good to excellent results regardless of the presence of a fracture. Long-term radiological follow-up is not required until symptomatic recurrence.

足底刮除治疗骨折性和非骨折性手内生纤维瘤的长期随访研究。
内生性瘤是手小管骨中最常见的原发性肿瘤,骨折通常是皮质骨变薄的结果。主要问题是骨折性内生纤维瘤是否影响长期临床和放射预后。方法2000年至2019年,57例既往治疗过骨折性(I组)和非骨折性(II组)手部内生纤维瘤患者(女性34例,男性23例;平均年龄(39.4±13.7岁)评估临床和放射治疗结果。采用短表36健康调查(SF-36)和手臂、肩膀和手的残疾(DASH)问卷以及患者报告的体验措施来评估主观健康结果。随后,43例患者接受了临床和放射学随访。从手部功能、围手术期并发症、复发率、成骨等方面比较两组的客观治疗结果。结果近半数(49.1%,n = 28)患者发生内生纤维瘤合并骨折。2例患者因术中不稳定接受了额外的k-钢丝固定。97.7% (n = 42)的病例可以解决缺陷。未见内生纤维瘤复发。各组放射学和临床结果相等。患者报告的经历主要是积极的(86%),两个队列都有良好到非常好的结果,DASH平均得分为4(±6.3)。SF-36显示两组患者的生活质量均恢复正常。平均随访时间7.78年(±4.8年)。结论单纯刮除内生纤维瘤不论有无骨折均可获得良好至极好的治疗效果。在症状复发之前不需要长期的放射随访。
