Abstract:
We present two cases of young females with aggressive benign bone tumors of the bone (Enchondroma and Giant Cell Tumor). Giant cell tumors and Enchondromas in hand are commonly found benign tumors, which may be locally aggressive. The primary treatment of these lesions is surgical. The two reported cases were treated successfully by extended curettage, bone grafting, and spanning JESS fixator. There was no recurrence in either case at one year follow-up and good hand function and complete healing of the lesion.

The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
