Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor often causing pain.
  • Traditional surgical removal can be challenging, especially for deep-seated lesions.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly explored for bone tumor management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the initial experience and feasibility of computer-assisted localization for osteoid osteoma.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive computer-assisted surgery for osteoid osteoma excision.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective evaluation of nine patients with osteoid osteoma.
  • Minimally invasive surgery utilizing computer-assisted localization.
  • Follow-up for symptomatic relief and complications over an average of 31 months.

Main Results:

  • Successful localization of osteoid osteoma in 7 out of 9 patients.
  • Mean operative time: 88 minutes; mean time to discharge: 1 day.
  • No reported fractures, infections, or neurovascular complications.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive computer-assisted surgery is a safe and feasible approach for osteoid osteoma.
  • This technique offers advantages for lesions in challenging anatomical locations.
  • Computer-assisted localization enhances precision in osteoid osteoma surgery.
