Chondroblastoma of Bone in the Extremities: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Conclusions:
Chondroblastoma occurs most frequently in the proximal part of the tibia and the proximal part of the femur with significant male predilection. In this series, recurrence was most frequent in the proximal part of the humerus. Our results suggest that curettage and bone-grafting provide favorable local control and satisfactory functional outcome for patients with this disease.

Level of Evidence:
Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
