Overview

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with asymptomatic, benign chondromas. Surgical resection is usually reserved for patients at risk with either malignant transformation or pathological fractures.[1][2]

Surgery

  • Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with asymptomatic and benign chondroma. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
  • [malignant]] transformation
  • In the setting of a fracture, the bone may be allowed to heal. If necessary, a curettage and bone grafting may be performed at a later time.
