Surgical treatment of chondroblastoma using extended intralesional curettage with phenol as a local adjuvant

Abstract

The aggressive treatment of chondroblastoma by an extended intralesional curettage using high-speed burr with phenol as a local adjuvant seems effective in lowering the incidence of local recurrence and secondary more aggressive surgeries. Implantation of the bone defects that result from curettage with the synthetic bone substitutes is a good alternative due to rapid restoration of the mechanical strength with good remodeling.
