A preliminary comparative study of percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation with surgical resection for osteoid osteoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The traditional treatment for osteoid osteoma is the nidus' surgical resection, which was difficult to eradicate with more invasive and complications because of osteosclerosis surrounding the nidus. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation of osteoid osteoma at different sites (especially refractory sites such as the spine).

Methods

Fifteen patients with osteoid osteoma who underwent cryoablation at our institution were analyzed retrospectively on their imaging data and clinical visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores before and after the procedure. Fifty-three patients underwent surgical resection during the period were also included in this study as a control group. Treatment efficacy was assessed primarily by comp
