Osteoid osteoma: CT-guided radio-frequency ablation

Comparison of application of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation and open surgery in the treatment of osteoid osteoma of the spine

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation and open surgery in the treatment of osteoid osteoma of the spine. Methods: From June 2012 to June 2016, 45 patients with osteoid osteoma of the spine were treated with CT-guided radiofrequency ablation in 23 cases (Group A) and open surgical resection in 22 cases (Group B). The out-of-bed activity time, visual ana...

MRgFUS treatment of superficial osteoid osteomas of the lower limbs

Background/introduction Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a relatively common benign bone tumor (2-3% of all bone tumors, 10% of benign bone tumors) usually developing in children and young adults. It is quite painful and patients typically complain of localized pain that is worse at night and characteristically relieved by non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Conventional treatment options incl...

MRgFUS of osteoid osteoma started at the Rizzoli

Background Osteoid osteoma is a bone-producing lesion frequently localized in long bones. The most common presenting symptom is pain with nocturnal exacerbation, responsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [1]. Minimally invasive treatment options have become the standard of care for osteoid osteoma and at present radiofrequency ablation is the treatment of choice [2]. Only one prelimina...

Percutaneous CT guided radiofrequency thermoablation versus Magnetic Resonance guided Focalized Ultrasound Surgery (MrgFUS) in the treatment of Osteoid Osteoma. Critical evaluation of the indications

Background MRgFUS represent a new therapeutic option for the non-surgical management of osteoid osteoma. The site of the lesion is the most significant limitation of use of this technique. Purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and morphological two years after the procedure, of the treatment of 28 osteoid osteomas with Magnetic Resonance guided Focus Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) versu...
