Overview

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 and pathological fracture.

Surgery

  • Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with asymptomatic and benign chondroma. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
  • Enchondromas of the long bones are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Curettage and histopathologic evaluation is usually reserved for patients with either:
    • Uncertain diagnosis
    • Lytic lesions
    • Symptomatic and borderline in size
    • Suspicious lesions For patients with pathologic fractures
  • Wide local excision is a curative procedure for patients with periosteal chondroma.
  • In synovial chondroma, depending on the symptoms, removal of loose bodies is required.
  • In symptomatic patients with synovial chondroma, synovectomy is helpful to control the disease.
