Materials and methods: This prospective study involves 11 patients with enchondroma of hand operated by curettge and autologous bone grafting between May 2015 to May 2017. Results: 10 patients had no restriction of movement, while 1 patient had a flexion deformity of 10degree. No patient had any local tumour recurrence or residual swelling.
