The main question was whether fractured enchondromas influence long-term clinical and radiological outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Between 2000 and 2019, 57 patients with previously treated fractured (group I) and non-fractured (group II) hand enchondromas (34 female, 23 male; mean age 39.4\u2009\u00b1\u200913.7 years) were evaluated for clinical and radiological treatment outcomes. Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) and Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaires as well as patient-reported experience measures were used to assess subjective health outcomes. Subsequently, 43 patients underwent clinical and radiological follow-ups. Comparative evaluation of objective treatment outcomes in both groups was conducted in terms of hand functionality, perioperative complications, recurrence rates, and osteogenesis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Almost half of the patients suffered enchondromas with fractures (49.1%, n\u2009=\u200928). Two patients received additional k-wire stabilization due to intraoperative instability. Defect resolution could be reached in 97.7% (n\u2009=\u200942) of all cases. No recurrence of enchondroma was observed. Groups were equal regarding radiological and clinical outcomes. The patient-reported experiences were predominantly positive (86%), and both cohorts had good to very good results with a DASH mean score of 4 (\u00b1 6.3). The SF-36 demonstrated a return to normal quality of life in both groups. The mean follow-up time was 7.78 years (\u00b1 4.8).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Sole curettage of enchondromas yields effective outcomes with good to excellent results regardless of the presence of a fracture. Long-term radiological follow-up is not required until symptomatic recurrence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2466-4905","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]],"date-time":"2024-11-13T00:21:46Z","timestamp":1731457306000},"page":"137-144","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Long-term
