Resumen

ORLANDO-DIAZ, C et al. Femoral head chondroblastoma and reconstruction with osteochondral allograft: Case report. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.6, pp.378-381. ISSN 2306-4102.

Femoral head chondroblastoma is an infrequent tumor, accounting for approximately 1-2% of benign bone tumors. It occurs more frequently in young male patients. It's most frequent locations include the proximal humerus, proximal femur, distal femur and proximal tibia. The femoral head is the third most frequent site of this tumor. There is no specific treatment for this entity; reported treatments range from acetabular osteotomies and osteochondral grafts, to vascularized fibular grafts, all of them with good results. However, this tumor is clinically unpredictable if left untreated. We report a case managed with osteochondral graft and followed-up for three years after the surgical procedure.
