Image-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a viable treatment for osteoid osteomas, achieving high clinical success rates. Early failures were linked to nidus localization challenges, highlighting the importance of precise targeting in RF ablation procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Interventional radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteomas are benign bone tumors that can cause significant pain.
  • Current treatment options include conservative management and surgical resection.
  • Image-guided percutaneous techniques offer a minimally invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the technical and clinical outcomes of image-guided percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation for osteoid osteomas.
  • To assess complication rates and long-term follow-up.
  • To identify factors influencing treatment success.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of nine patients with osteoid osteomas.
  • Image-guided localization of the nidus.

  • Outpatient percutaneous RF ablation performed under general anesthesia (13 procedures).

    • Main Results:

    • Initial technical success in seven of nine patients.
    • Two early technical and clinical failures due to inadequate nidus entry.
    • Clinical success achieved in eight of nine patients.
    • No major immediate or delayed complications observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Image-guided percutaneous RF ablation is an effective treatment for osteoid osteomas.
    • Precise nidus localization is crucial for technical success.
    • The procedure demonstrates a favorable safety profile with high clinical success rates.
