We describe a left-handed man who had a giant periosteal chondroma of the proximal phalanx of the left third finger with compression of the digital neurovascular structures, and the flexor and extensor tendons. Cutaneous pressure thresholds of the digital nerves were tested, showing complete sensory recovery 24 months postoperatively.

Abstract
We describe a left-handed man who had a giant periosteal chondroma of the proximal phalanx of the left third finger with compression of the digital neurovascular structures, and the flexor and extensor tendons. Cutaneous pressure thresholds of the digital nerves were tested, showing complete sensory recovery 24 months postoperatively.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
