Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the hip joint secondary to femoral head collapse may develop after curettage of lesions in the femoral head. We report the case of a patient with chondroblastoma of the femoral head who was treated with wide curettage of the lesion and implantation of an osteochondral allograft to prevent femoral head collapse.
