as a biopolymer, with applications in the water decontamination, cancer therapy, drug delivery and wound repair, to name a few. The cationic nature of chitosan allows for relatively easy modification of the polymer, in either grafting or cross-linking reactions [1, 7]. Grafting reactions involve the addition of a functional group, usually resulting in the increased adsorption capacity due to increased absorption sites [7]. Cross-linking reactions bind neighbouring chains together, causing a…

cyst like changes has been noted in up to 15% of chondroblastoma cases.9 Some authors have suggested that recurrences are more common when aneurysmal bone cyst changes are present. Treatment for chondroblastoma consists of simple curettage, bone grafting, and possible cementation using similar techniques as for giant cell tumor surgery.8,9 After intralesional resection, reconstruction can be accomplished with autograft or allograft or both. When treated with curettage these tumors seem to…
