Aggressive benign bone tumors require treatment by curettage of the lesion and packing of the cavity with bone grafts or bone cement. Curettage of the pathologic tissue through a wide cortical window is usually mandatory to avoid the risk of local recurrence. However, large cortical removal for creating the window may weaken the bone and increase the risk of fracture. Minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of benign bone tumors have been reported in few articles. Trans-articular arthroscopic excision of benign bone tumors such as chondroblastoma and osteoid osteoma have […]
