Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation in osteoid osteoma

Abstract: We treated 58 patients with osteoid osteoma by CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RF). In 16 it followed one or two unsuccessful open procedures. It was performed under general anaesthesia in 48, and spinal anaesthesia in ten. The nidus was first located by thin-cut CT (2 to 3 mm) sections. In hard bony areas a 2 mm coaxial drill system was applied. In softer areas an 11-gauge Jamshidi needle was inserted to allow the passage of a 1 mm RF probe into the centre of the nidus. RF ablation was administered at 90 d… Show more

“…In addition, RFA proves to be a better tool in treating symptomatic recurrences after surgical resections (100% vs 90%). 30 Several authors have published articles [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] reporting a significant therapeutic success, confirming the effectiveness of RFA also in the long-term and on large series, showing that RFA is a safe method for treating OO with a low number of complications. Flanagin and Lindskog, 39 in their study, referred an efficacy of this technique equals 92.8%, in agreement with the previous data reported in literature.…”

“…40 The right choice of the electrodes to be used during the procedure is essential. Most of the studies 29,30,32,37,40 report the use of a single standard electrode, without internal cooling devices, with an active exposed tip of 5-10 mm. Taking into consideration that the tissue damage caused by RFA extends a few millimetres beyond the tip of the probe, a sufficient distance from the vital structures should be ensured; the standard safety distance is at least 1 cm.…”

“…Several CT-guided percutaneous techniques have been employed to achieve removal or destruction of the nidus with minimal invasiveness, including thermal destruction by means of laser photocoagulation or RFA. [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] The hip is the most common location of intra-articular osteoid osteomas. They are usually located at the femoral neck and less commonly at the femoral head or the acetabulum.…”
