Abstract:
Seven patients with a presumptive diagnosis of osteoid osteoma located at the hip were treated with percutaneous resection of the nidus through computed tomography guidance. Histologic confirmation was obtained in 5 of the 7 patients. The average hospital stay was 27 hours. At followup, from 12 to 40 months, all patients remain asymptomatic. This procedure presents potential advantages that traditional open surgery techniques do not have.
