Abstract

Objective: The purpose is to demonstrate that endoscopy resection can be used safely and effectively for the treatment of benign bone tumors. Methods: Ten benign bone tumors were treated by curettage using arthroscopy instruments, a new surgical technique that we called “minimally invasive endoscopic technique.” The curettage was performed by curette and high-speed burr through a small bone window in all cases using arthroscopy instruments. The tumor cavity was packed finally with bone cement or bone allografts
