  • Title: Endoscopic removal of the osteochondroma of the fibular head.
    Author: Gudas R, Pocius A.
    Journal: Medicina (Kaunas); 2013; 49(4):191-4. PubMed ID: 23985984.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of the osteochondroma of the fibular head in a 40-year-old female patient who underwent an endoscopic extirpation of a relapsed benign tumor. Initially, open surgery was performed, and the tumor was removed 3 years ago. Following the reoccurrence of the symptoms 3 years after the initial open extirpation, an x-ray and computed tomography of the calf were performed. The tumor was endoscopically removed, and the diagnosis of a relapsed osteochondroma measuring 1.5 × 1.5 × 2 cm was established. Endoscopic surgery can be applied for a successful extirpation of the osteochondroma of the fibular head.
