Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to suggest an appropriate treatment method by comparing nonsurgical treatment and surgical treatment for enchondroma in the hands and feet. Materials and Methods: Seventy four cases with enchondroma of the hands and feet from January 1996 to March 2017 were selected to evaluate the functional outcomes. Thirty cases were treated with nonsurgical treatment, and 44 cases were treated with surgical treatment, such as curettage only or curettage with a bone graft. The mean follow-up period was 18.1 months. The functional results were analyzed using the Wilhelm and Feldmeier formula. Results: The mean age was 38 years, and the age range was between eight and 69 years. According to the Wilhelm and Feldmeier formula, the mean score of hand enchondroma was 3.09±0.85 and 3.20±0.91 in the non-operative and operative group, respectively. The mean scores of the foot except for the grip strength were 2.57±0.79 and 2.75±0.50, respectively. No significant difference was observed according to the functional results. Among the 18 cases of enchondroma with pathological fractures, nine cases were treated non-surgically and nine cases were treated by surgically. In all 18 cases, complete bone healing was observed at the final follow-up. Conclusion: Relatively satisfactory results were obtained in both surgical and nonsurgical treatment and there was no significant difference in functional outcomes. In cases of enchondroma in the hands and feet, nonsurgical treatment can also be a good treatment option.

목적: 수족부에 발생하는 내연골종에 대한 비수술적, 수술적 치료의 결과 차이를 분석하여 향후 내연골종의 효과적인 치료 방법에 대해 알고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년부터 2017년까지 내연골종으로 진단받고 치료받은 환자들 중 그 발생부위가 수족부의 지골, 중수골, 중족골의 단일 병변에 해당하는 총 102예 중 6개월 이상 추시한 74예에 대해 후향적으로 분석하였다. 수부에 발생한 내연골종의 기능적인 결과에 대해서는 Wilhelm과 Feldmeier가 제시한 미용상의 문제, 관절 운동성, 파악력, 영상학적 소견 등을 분석하여 우수(excellent), 양호(good), 충분(satisfactory), 불량(poor) 4군으로 분류하였다. 결과: 74예 중 30예는 비수술적 치료를 시행하였으며 44예에서 수술적 치료를 시행하였다. 그 결과, 관절운동 제한 및 통증은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 총 74예 중 18명의 환자에서 병적 골절이 동반되어 있었으며 이 중 9명은 비수술적 치료, 9명은 수술적 치료를 시행받았다. 단순 방사선 추시상 비수술적 치료와 수술적 치료를 시행한 18예에서 모두 골유합 소견이 확인되었으며 관절운동 범위와 통증, 외형, 근력 등의 기능적인 측면에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론: 수족부에서 발생하는 내연골종에 있어서 수술적, 비수술적 치료 모두에서 비교적 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며 기능적인 측면에서 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 수술적 치료로 인한 부작용 및 여러 가지 단점들을 고려하였을 때 비수술적 치료 역시 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있는 치료법이라고 생각된다.
