ABSTRACT

Chondroblastoma is a sporadic, benign, locally aggressive, cartilaginous tumor that commonly affects the epi metaphyseal or epiphyses of the long bones. Chondroblastoma being extremely rare accounts for only one to two percent of all bone tumors. It usually occurs in skeletally immature patients, i.e., patients below 20 years old. Herein, we present a case of epiphyseal chondroblastoma of the right tibia with a posterior cruciate ligament tear in an 18-year-old female who presented with gradually progressive pain in the right knee for four years for which the patient underwent high-frequency radio-ablation.

Keywords: Chondroblastoma, Posterior cruciate ligament tear, Radiofrequency ablation
