| Popis: | We report the case of a 47-year-old man who presented with a pathologic fracture of the middle phalanx of the fourth finger. The treatment of this juxta-articular lesion close to the proximal interphalangeal joint was performed in 2 stages. First, a biopsy was carried out combined with fixation of the fracture by a Suzuki dynamic external fixator. After 6 weeks, a curettage of the confirmed enchon- droma was performed with iliac crest grafting, leaving the external fixator for another 4 weeks. With a follow-up of 48 months, a sat- isfying functional result has been obtained with a remarkable remod- eling of the painless proximal interphalangeal joint. |
