Abstract:
Benign tumors of the carpal bones are uncommon, and their optimal treatment is still a topic of debate due to the condition's rarity. While there is consensus on treating enchondromas with pathological fractures to alleviate symptoms, the best approach for removing these benign tumors remains uncertain. With the growing popularity of wrist arthroscopy for various wrist pathologies, we present our technique of arthroscopic enucleation, bone grafting, and fixation of scaphoid enchondroma. Our method showed favorable outcomes at the one-year follow-up. We aim to describe our technique, including video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/BTH/A241 illustration, to encourage consideration of arthroscopic alternatives. The clinical, radiological, and therapeutic aspects of this rare benign tumor of the carpal bone are also briefly discussed.
