Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with chondroblastoma undergoing surgery with various adjuvant procedures: a retrospective study of 59 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chondroblastoma is classified as a benign bone tumor. However, postoperative local recurrence remains a concern. We analyzed the factors contributing to chondroblastoma local recurrence and the clinical challenges associated with treating these patients.

Methods

This retrospective study examined 59 patients followed up at our hospitals for ≥ 1 year after surgery during 1990-2020. The most common lesion site was the epiphyses of long bones (42 cases, 71%), including the femur, tibia, and humerus. Curettage was performed in 57 cases; 2 cases with an iliac lesion underwent resection. The median postoperative follow-up period was 47 months. Clinical features of chondroblastoma were retrospectively investigated, and local recurrence and postoperative functional outcome
