Popis: Osteoid osteomas are benign bone lesions that commonly occur in the lower extremities and spine, with the radiographic evidence of a central nidus surrounded by circumferential reactive bone. Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can provide symptomatic relief and are used as an important diagnostic tool, surgical intervention is the definitive treatment. Arthroscopic-assisted radiofrequency ablation has been shown to be an effective technique to directly visualize and treat the lesion while minimizing damage to the articular cartilage.
