PERIARTICULAR CHONDROBLASTOMA - A RARE CAUSE OF KNEE PAIN, DIAGNOSIS AND ITS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

14 years old boy presented
with chronic knee for 2 years duration not
relieved by rest or analgesics. No history
of trauma or fever. Clinical examination
was normal except for range of motion 0
- 110 degrees. Blood investigations and
x rays were normal. CT showed a subarticular
lesion in the posteromedial aspect
of the lateral tibial plateau with open
growth plate suggestive of chondroblastoma.
Treatment option of curettage and
bone grafting was done by identifying the
lesion in a novel manner without disturbing
the growth plate and articular cartilage.
Postoperatively patient was pain
free and achieved full range of movements
