ABSTRACT
Ten cases of periosteal (juxtacortical) chondroma were observed in a series of 234 benign cartilaginous tumors of the hand recorded in the Bone Tumor Register of the Orthopaedic Department of the Semmelweis Medical School, Budapest. The X-rays and histology of this slowly growing, juxtacortical, locally active tumor may simulate a chondrosarcoma and may often lead to difficulties in the differential diagnosis. The adequate assessment of the X-ray and histological finding prevents overdiagnosis and unjustified radical surgical therapy.

With the advance of hand surgery the problems of tumors and tumor-like conditions are more often encountered. The special nature, diagnostic problems and treatment of these tumors are discussed here based on own experience. The importance of collaboration of the different specialties is emphasized here, which is the only clue to the successful treatment of these conditions.

A survey is given on the applicability of the AO/ASIF Small Fragment Instrumentarium in the arthrodesis of the hand joints. Indications for these operations and technical aspects are dealt with too. They stress, that these procedures-if correctly performed-have a definite advantage over the arthrodesis by K-wire fixation.

After flexor tendon repair, adhesions can occur which interfere with motion. In this situation, surgical tendolysis offers the possibility for improvement in finger function. The authors give the indications and rationale for tendolysis including their own results. Tendolysis was successful in 72% of cases.

The authors write on the usefulness of the A.S.I.F. Small Fragment Instrumentary, its possible ways of application in the treatment of fractures of bones of the hand. The operative techniques is introduced, indication and contraindications based on the clinical material of the authors are discussed in the article. Limitations to the application of this method are also included.
