Abstract
Aims and Objective: To present our experience in treatment of osteoid osteoma of long bones with CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) along with the clinical outcome and long-term success.
Materials and Methodology: 12 patients with osetoid osteoma came to our institute for CT guided RFA have been selected for study.
Result: All procedures were technically successful. No major or immediate complications were observed. Clinical success was achieved in 11 of 12 patients in the first procedure. A second procedure was performed for 1 patient who had recurrent was successfully treated. The overall rate of success was 91.67%. No complication was observed.
Conclusion: The indications for radiofrequency bone ablation in the case of benign tumours (osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma) are curative. The long-term outcome of CT-guided RFA of osteoid osteoma is excellent.
