160 patients (72 men and 88 women) in the age from 12 to 71 were admitted to Orthopaedic and Traumatology Department Skubiszewski Medical University in Lublin because of enchondromas. In 126 patients chondromas were located in hand, and in 34 remaining patients (21,3%) in: humerus, forearm, femur, tibia, fibula and foot. The typical signs of enchondroma were: pain, little limitation of movement, thickening of tissues or pathological fracture. 31 patients were operated on. Enchondroma was resected with cutterage, the walls of osseus cavity cleaned with reamer and bone loss filled up with bone grafts or bone cement. 1 case of recurrence of chondroma of toe was noted. In one patent malignant change of chondroma of proximal metaphysis of tibia to chondrosarcoma was observed. Lesion resection and filling up the bone defect is the best method of treatment of enchondroma.
