Treatment of Enchondroma

Treatment of Enchondroma

Treatment will depend on your symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is. Treatment may include: Surgery. In some cases, surgery is done when bone weakening is present or fractures occur. Bone grafting. This is a surgery where healthy bone is taken from another part of the body and transplanted into the affected area. If there is no sign of bone weakening or growth of the tumor, your healthcare provider may simply keep a close watch on your condition. However, follow-up with repeat X-rays may be needed. Some types of enchondromas can develop into cancerous bone tumors later. Careful follow-up with your healthcare provider is often recommended.
