Chondroblastoma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm of bone. The recurrence rate is high and complications are frequent following open curettage with bone grafting which is the standard treatment forchondroblastomas. We performed radiofrequency ablation in three cases of tibialchondroblastoma using the bipolar system. One patient experienced residual pain for which repeat ablation was performed. No other complications were observed during follow-up. Radiofrequency ablation may offer an effective alternative for the treatment of selected cases of chondroblastoma. The lesion characteristics which are likely to influence treatment outcome and the advantages offered by the bipolar system are discussed.
软骨母细胞瘤是一种罕见的骨良性软骨肿瘤。刮除植骨术是软骨母细胞瘤的标准治疗方法,但术后复发率高且并发症常见。我们使用双极系统对3例胫骨软骨母细胞瘤患者进行了射频消融治疗。1例患者出现残留疼痛,为此进行了重复消融。随访期间未观察到其他并发症。射频消融可能为某些软骨母细胞瘤病例的治疗提供一种有效的替代方法。本文讨论了可能影响治疗结果的病变特征以及双极系统的优势。
