Conventional osteosarcoma typically arises in the metaphysis of long bones and constitutes about 3 % of all primary bone tumors. Despite advancements in treatment, osteosarcoma remains challenging due to its aggressive nature and tendency for metastasis. Chondroblastoma-like osteosarcoma (CBLOS) is a rare variant that complicates diagnosis due to its resemblance to benign chondroblastoma, which is histologically and radiologically similar but typically benign.

Imaging revealed a lytic lesion in the right acetabulum with intense FDG uptake and MRI showing an aggressive mass with central cystic necrosis. Initial biopsies suggested chondroblastoma, but a third biopsy confirmed CBLOS, characterized by chondroblastic differentiation and a cellular stroma. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by extensive surgical resection, including type 2 + 3 pelvic resections and reconstruction using a tumor prosthesis. Postoperative recovery was smooth, and the patient is under regular follow-up for monitoring.</div></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><div>CBLOS poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its resemblance to benign chondroblastoma and other bone tumors. Radiological features such as cortical destruction and mixed lytic-sclerotic patterns are crucial for differentiation.

Radical surgical resection combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment, aiming for complete tumor removal while preserving function. Postoperative monitoring is essential to detect recurrence early.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>CBLOS is a rare and aggressive osteosarcoma variant requiring a comprehensive approach for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

This review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate and compare the outcomes of these two techniques. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted to identify relevant articles comparing the outcomes of cemented and cementless TKAs. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials or prospective and retrospective comparison studies, required a minimum follow-up of five years, and were published in English between January 2000 and November 2023. The meta-analysis encompassed 15 pertinent articles. Results indicated that cementless TKAs had a significantly lower infection rate than cemented TKAs (<em>p</em> = .002). No significant differences were observed in terms of aseptic loosening, revision rates, Knee Society scores, or Oxford Knee scores. Cementless TKAs present a lower risk of infection than their cemented counterparts. However, other outcome measures, such as aseptic loosening and revision rates, did not show significant differences.
