Does the intercondylar approach provide a better outcome for chondroblastoma of the distal femur in skeletally immature patients?

Aims: The epiphyseal approach to a chondroblastoma of the intercondylar notch of a child's distal femur does not provide adequate exposure, thereby necessitating the removal of a substantial amount of unaffected bone to expose the lesion. In this study, we compared the functional outcomes, local recurrence, and surgical complications of treating a chondroblastoma of the distal femoral epiphysis by either an intercondylar or an epiphyseal approach.

Methods: A total of 30 children with a chondroblastoma of the distal femur who had been treated by intraregional curettage and bone grafting were retrospectively reviewed.
