Percutaneous thermocoagulation offers an effective, minimally invasive treatment for osteoid osteomas. This CT-guided procedure successfully relieved pain in most patients, providing a safe alternative to surgical excision.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Osteoid osteomas are benign bone tumors typically treated with surgical excision.
  • Surgical resection can be invasive and may lead to complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous thermocoagulation for treating osteoid osteomas.
  • To present an alternative to surgical management.

Main Methods:

  • Eighteen patients with osteoid osteomas underwent percutaneous thermocoagulation of the nidus.
  • Procedures were guided by computed tomography (CT).

Main Results:

  • Technical success was achieved in all 18 cases.
  • No complications were reported.

  • 17 out of 18 patients remained pain-free post-procedure; the remaining patient responded to a second treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous thermocoagulation is a safe and effective treatment for osteoid osteomas.
    • This minimally invasive technique offers a viable alternative to surgical resection.
