Popis: Abstract Aim CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is among the thermal ablative procedures and provides great benefits with a minimally invasive procedure. In this prospective study, we aimed to reveal the significance of a multidisciplinary method in reducing the recurrence and complications in osteoid osteoma patients with CT-guided RFA performed by a team of experts in the field. Materials and methods A total of consecutive 40 patients with osteoid osteoma were prospectively evaluated and treated with CT-guided RFA. Before and the post ablation the visual analog scale (VAS) and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) were compared. Results Post-ablation VAS of the patients at the 1st week and 3rd month after the procedure decreased significantly (p
