- Damage to nearby nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.
- Incomplete removal leading to local recurrence of the tumor.
- Post-operative stiffness or reduced range of motion in the affected joint.
- Weakening of the bone at the surgical site, potentially requiring bone grafting.

Pooja Joshi, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Pooja Joshi, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two, first noticed a persistent, dull ache in her right index finger while writing on the whiteboard. Over several months, a small, hard, painless lump became visible. An X-ray revealed a well-defined, benign-looking bone lesion in the phalanx, diagnosed as an enchondroma. Her oncologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that while typically harmless, the location and Pooja's pain warranted removal to prevent a potential fracture and confirm the diagnosis. Pooja underwent a simple curettage (scraping out) of the tumor under local anesthesia, which was then filled with a bone graft. The procedure was quick, and she went home the same day. Recovery involved two weeks in a splint, followed by gentle physiotherapy to regain full dexterity. Within six weeks, she was back to writing and crafting without pain. Emotionally, Pooja was initially terrified by the word 'tumor' and the referral to an oncologist, fearing cancer. The clarity and reassurance from her doctor were a huge relief. Post-procedure, she felt empowered and grateful for the straightforward solution, her anxiety replaced by a newfound appreciation for her health and the ability to do her job pain-free.
