Treatment for Enchondroma
Treatment for Enchondroma
Specific treatment for enchondroma will be determined by your physician based on:
- Your age, overall health, and medical history
- Extent of the disease
- Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- Expectations for the course of the disease
- Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
- Surgery (in some cases, when bone weakening is present or fractures occur)
- Bone grafting - A surgical procedure in which healthy bone is transplanted from another part of the patient's body into the affected area. Learn more about bone grafting.
If there is no sign of bone weakening or growth of the tumor, observation only may be suggested. However, follow-up with repeat X-rays may be necessary. Some types of enchondromas can develop into malignant, or cancerous, bone tumors later. Careful follow-up with a physician may be recommended.
