“…9 On rare occasions, active distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint flexion may be lost secondary to an avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon from the underlying, weakened volar cortex. 10 Aspects of the medical history that facilitate a patient-specific differential diagnosis include age; previous cancer or endocrine disorders, such as hyperparathyroidism; and symptoms such as fever, fatigue, night sweats, night pain, and unexpected weight loss. The rate of growth or deformity progression should also be ascertained.…”

Enchondroma is the most common primary bone tumor of the hand. This benign, cartilaginous tumor often presents as a pathologic fracture. When hand enchondroma is suspected, less common conditions, such as multiple enchondromatosis syndromes and benign and malignant lesions, should be ruled out. Surgical management with curettage is the standard of care for symptomatic lesions. However, controversy surrounds the timing of surgery for pathologic fractures and the use of surgical adjuncts and postcurettage void management. Microscopically distinguishing hand enchondroma from low-grade hand chondrosarcoma is a diagnostic challenge for pathologists, but the primary surgical treatment for both conditions is curettage because the latter has a low metastatic potential. Postoperative complications are typically joint stiffness and soft-tissue[FIGURE DASH]related deformities, whereas recurrence and malignant degeneration of solitary lesions are much less common. Most patients return to full function after surgery.

“…Based on a literature review, combined treatment of the pathological fracture and the enchondroma in the same surgical session is recommended [3,[7][8]. The first published case was reported by Ogunro in 1983 [9]; since then, only 10 such clinical cases have been documented (Table 1) [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The FDP rupture is brought on by the slightest trauma.…”

“…1À5,7 A mini-fragment screw with bone grafting has also been used. 6 Yamauchi et al claimed that bone grafting was not necessary in avulsion fracture of the flexor digitorum profundus. 7 In the present case, however, the recurrent enchondroma in the distal phalanx was considerably enlarged.…”

Avulsion of Flexor Digitorum Profundus Secondary to Recurrent Enchondroma

We report a case of avulsion of the flexor digitorum profundus secondary to recurrent enchondroma. The tumor was curetted with bone grafting of cancellous bone from the distal radius, and the fragment avulsed by the flexor digitorum profundus tendon was fixed to its original site using a pullout suture through the distal phalanx to the nail. The lesion healed and function recovered 6 years after surgery.
