Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation in osteoid osteoma: Tips and tricks in special scenarios.
European Journal of Radiology 2018 May
OBJECTIVES: To define specific characteristics of osteoid osteomas treated with radiofrequency ablation, that may benefit from special technical recommendations.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all radiofrequency ablations performed by our group from January 2001 to March 2015. A descriptive study was conducted. We compared our results with the available literature to determine the most frequent special scenarios.
RESULTS: 207 radiofrequency ablations were performed in 200 patients. We defined the following scenarios: osteoid osteomas located in the spine, close to neurovacular structures, osteoid osteomas in small bones (hands and feet), intra-articular, deeply located or superficial and lesions with extensive periosteal reaction.
CONCLUSIONS: The scenarios defined required special considerations and technical variations. Implementing the different tips and tricks shown in the article, the most complex osteoid osteomas could be successfully ablated.
