[Percutaneous resection of osteoid osteoma]. / La résection percutanée des ostéomes ostéoïdes.

ABSTRACT

Therapeutic management of osteoid osteomas may vary from conservative medical treatment to more aggressive, though effective, surgery. Based on observations in 4 cases in children, we demonstrate the importance of localizing the lesion on the CT-scan before percutaneous resection of the osteoid osteoma involving small bones since this method is the most conservative surgical procedure.
