Abstract:
Targeted cannulation of the nidus and subsequent thermal ablation is the basis of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of osteoid osteoma, which is considered nowadays as the treatment of choice. The majority of complications during this procedure are due to thermal injury of adjacent structures. Specific measures as per the anatomical location of osteoid osteoma can avoid the majority of complications. This article enlists the possible complications and their necessary precautions and remedies to avoid these complications during CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma.
