Özet

The aim of this study was to compare the rates of local recurrence according to surgical treatment options in low-grade chondrosarcomas of the long bones. A retrospective review was made of 30 consecutive patients (12 male, 18 female) with a mean age of 40.7 years (range : 16-69 years) with intramedullary low-grade chondrosarcoma of the long bones treated either by intralesional curettage or wide resection at our institution between 1995 and 2011. The mean overall follow- up was 74 months (range : 24-186 months). There was no difference in local recurrence rates between patients treated with intralesional resection or wide resection (p = 0.98). Intralesional curettage seems to be feasible in selected cases to reduce the patient's postoperative morbidity in Grade I chondrosarcoma cases. © 2013, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica.
