Computed Tomography-Guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Osteoid Osteomas: Joining Forces of Orthopedic Oncologists and Radiologists

Marcelo Bragança dos Reis Oliveira, Daniel Kannan , Flávia Martins Costa and Elise Tchie Tonomura

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a painful nonaggressive bone tumor, which presents a therapeutic challenge in providing pain relief using the least invasive approach. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive method with increasing importance in OO treatment. Although surgeons in some centers still prefer operative management of the tumor, a team with oncologic orthopedists and radiologists working together offers reduced morbidity by using a safe and effective method of treatment with computed tomography-guided RFA.
