Enchondroma is the benign bone tumor commonly found in phalanx and metacarpal shaft. The most common method of treatment is curettage with or without filling cavity with bone graft with recurrence rate up to 13%. We present a large enchondroma of fourth metacarpal right hand with cortical breach treated with marginal excision and reconstruction of segmental defect with tricortical iliac crest bone graft with excellent functional and cosmetic result. We opted to report this case because of the large size of the tumor and successful reconstruction of metacarpal with simple technique of autograft.

34 patients treated by the iliac crest bone graft technique for wrist arthrodesis were reviewed. The average age was 45.6 years and the mean follow-up was 45 months. The procedure is performed through a straight ulnar approach and the head of the ulna is removed. A longitudinal trench is created in both distal radius and carpus preserving the anterior, posterior and lateral cortices. A curved trapezoidal monocortical iliac crest bone graft is embedded inside the trench. The position of the arthrodesis automatically follows the curvature of the graft. No fixation device is used. A short-arm cast is applied for 2 to 3 months. All arthrodeses except two fused within 3 months. Pain was completely relieved in 85% of the cases. Pronation and supination returned to normal 5 months post-operatively. Grip strength was increased in 80% of the cases. The carpometacarpal joints remained pain-free even when not fused. Complications were rare: two lesions of the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve; two cases of delayed union due to errors in technique, and displacement of the graft in one case. Although it is technically demanding, the embedded iliac crest graft wrist arthrodesis improves pronation and supination as a result of resection of the distal radio-ulnar joint, preserves or improves grip strength, and relieves pain.

AbstractSubacromial decompression is one of the most frequently performed procedures in the setting of arthroscopic shoulder surgery and typically includes acromioplasty. However, the indication for acromioplasty remains a subject of debate. Possible complications involve deltoid muscle insufficiency due to an excessive removal of the anterior acromion. This case report is intended to draw attention to this particular complication and its management.
