Chondroblastoma is a rare benign bone tumor that typically arises in the epiphysis. The primary treatment strategy involves complete curettage of the lesion. However, there is limited literature regarding the management of chondroblastoma specifically located in the femoral head. Following simple curettage alone, the femoral head is prone to collapse due to injury to the growth plate and the effects of weight-bearing stress.
