RESUMO
Eight cases of tenosynovial chondromatosis in the hand were compared with twelve cases collected from the literature and available data on eleven cases showed that in three there were recurrences. No patients had metastatic lesions during a follow-up period averaging 7.8 years. Based on these data, we concluded that a moderately radical en bloc excision is adequate treatment for tenosynovial chondromatosis in the hand.

Although malignant cartilage tumors of the foot and especially of the talus are uncommon, the treating physician must become suspicious when a "simple ankle sprain" is resistant to standard treatment. In such a case, the comparison of serial radiographs may reveal subtle changes and the use of a radioactive bone scan may be of diagnostic value.

In a lateral dislocation that is unreducible by closed methods, one should suspect that the tendon of the tibialis anterior muscle may be preventing reduction because of its interposition. In such a situation an open reduction is mandatory.
