Abstract:
The osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor which occurs in the metaphyseal portion of long bone. The osteochondroma is rare in hand and extremely rare in the intraarticular location of the hand. We present a case of intraarticular osteochondroma which occurred at the fourth metacarpal head of the hand in a child patient.
