Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor causing significant pain.
  • Traditional treatments can be invasive with longer recovery times.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought for improved patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of computed tomography (CT) guided percutaneous excision of osteoid osteoma.
  • To assess the feasibility of this procedure in an outpatient setting.

Main Methods:

  • A coaxial technique using an Einhorn biopsy set and power drill was employed.
  • CT guidance was utilized for precise nidus localization and excision.
  • Twenty-one patients with symptomatic osteoid osteoma underwent the procedure.

Main Results:

  • Successful nidus excision was achieved in all 21 patients.
  • Postexcision CT scans and histological evaluation confirmed complete removal.
  • A mean follow-up of 17 months revealed no recurrences and only one minor complication.

Conclusions:

  • CT-guided percutaneous excision is a safe, effective, and cost-effective treatment for osteoid osteoma.
  • The outpatient approach minimizes patient burden and healthcare costs.
  • This minimally invasive method demonstrates excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes.
