Removal of Osteoid Osteoma of the Tibia Using Two-portal Posterior Ankle Arthroscopy

Periarticular Osteoid Osteoma of the Ankle: A Report of Nine Arthroscopically Treated Patients

“…In our first case report of arthroscopic removal of the OO from the ankle, we stressed the importance of collecting enough tissue for a valid histopathologic analysis (3). The area between the tumor and the healthy surrounding tissue is fragile, and it often proves difficult to remove the fragile nidus completely and accurately from ''a big aquarium,'' as described by Yercan et al (16).…”

“…Arthroscopic removal of OO from the ankle can be a successful procedure with minimal complications when performed by an experienced arthroscopic ankle surgeon (2,3,19). Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical method that offers many generally accepted advantages such as a shorter hospital stay, reduced risk of perioperative infection, and shorter postoperative rehabilitation period (4,5).…”

“…treatment option that has proved to be successful in the treatment of periarticular OO of larger joints (2,3,5,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Removal of osteoblastoma of the talar neck using standard anterior ankle Arthroscopy：A case report

“…Since 1995, when Resnick et al first introduced arthroscopic resection of an osteoid osteoma in the ankle, an increasing number of cases treated in this manner have been reported with successful outcomes [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] . Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical method offering the advantages of a shorter hospitalization time, a reduced risk of infection, and a reduced need for long postoperative rehabilitation [26] . Because synovitis can accompany tumor, it can be easily managed with arthroscopic synovectomy.…”

Removal of Osteoid Osteoma of the Calcaneus Using Subtalar Arthroscopy

“…After a complete diagnostic workup that proved the accessibility of the tumor and considering our experience with the treatment of intra-articular OO of the ankle, we decided to remove the tumor arthroscopically using the lateral approach for subtalar arthroscopy ( Figure 2). 8,11,12 Under spinal anesthesia, the patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position. The affected leg was slightly elevated by a small support, to allow free movement of the ankle joint.…”
