Chondroblastoma of the upper end of the tibia, invading the attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament.
A case of chondroblastoma with invasion of the joint via the attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament is reported. The importance of careful interpretation of early radiological signs and the usefulness of conventional tomographic and computerized axial tomographic examination is demonstrated, and a method for reconstruction of the defect using an AO buttress plate and bone chips is presented. There was no sign of recurrence two and a half years postoperatively.
