Comparison of Distal Radius Autograft Technique with Iliac Crest Autograft Technique in Solitary Finger Enchondromas

ObjectivesThe purpose of the study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of autografts obtained from the iliac crest (IC) and distal radius (DR) and to evaluate their superiority for surgical treatment of solitary finger enchondromas.

Description
Summary:ObjectivesThe purpose of the study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of autografts obtained from the iliac crest (IC) and distal radius (DR) and to evaluate their superiority for surgical treatment of solitary finger enchondromas. MethodsTwenty-five patients for whom curettage and autografting were carried out for finger enchondroma were retrospectively analyzed. DR autograft was used in eight patients and IC autograft was used in 17 patients. Data on pre-operative total active motion (TAM), disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) score, and pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores of the involved finger, duration of surgery, amount of bleeding during the operation, length of hospital stay, presence of complications related to anesthesia, and post-operative donor site morbidity were obtained. Pre-operative and post-operative 12th month radiographies were evaluated for pre-operative tumor volume, post-operative remnant volume, and Tordai radiologic evaluation grade. ResultsNo statistically significant difference could be identified between post-operative TAM (p=0.154), DASH (p=0.458), pain VAS scores (p=0.571), remnant volume (p=0.496), Tordai radiologic evaluation grade (p=0.522), duration of surgery (p=0.288), and amount of bleeding (p=0.114) between DR and IC groups. However, mean hospital stay duration was shorter for the DR group (p=0.0001). Recurrence was observed in one patient in the DR group and three patients in the IC group (p=0.996). ConclusionThe clinical and radiological outcomes of grafting from the DR and IC were similar in the treatment of hand enchondromas. However, grafting from the DR may result in shorter hospital stay compared to IC grafting.
