Osteoid osteoma frequently requires surgical treatment, especially among young, active patients. However, surgeons are reluctant to perform open surgery for an osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck area because the conventional surgical approach requires a large incision in muscular patients, and percutaneous resection with a trephine has the attendant risk of subsequent fracture. Recently, arthr...

background : the hand and wrist bones are infrequent sites for osteoid osteoma, and its diagnosis can be difficult. this paper reports 25 cases of osteoid osteoma in the hand and wrist.   methods : records of the 25 patients who had pathological conditions of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist were reviewed and analyzed.   results : twenty-five cases of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist ...

Osteoid osteoma is a small, benign bone neoplasm that consists of a well-demarcated nidus surrounded by a reactive zone of sclerosis.1,2 It is of unknown etiology and accounts for approximately 10% of symptomatic benign bone tumors.3 Initial treatment of patients with osteoid osteoma consists of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).4 If the pain is unresponsive to medical therapy or if...

BACKGROUND Osteoid osteomas account for approximately 2- 3% of all primary bone neoplasm's sampled for biopsy. 50% of all of them occur in the long bones of the lower extremities, but osteoid osteoma of the coracoid process is rare. We have found only nine previously reported cases of coracoid osteoid osteoma in the international literature. We report a child with coracoid base osteoid osteoma....

A 14-year-old patient presented with chronic shoulder pain evolving since three years. The pain persisted despite the various medicated and physical treatments followed. The clinical examination noted a normal shoulder examination with pain facing the right scapula without local inflammatory signs. There were no abnormalities in the biological examinations, in particular absence of biological i...

conclusions along with the technological advancement, different materials are employed according to the size of the cranium defect and the age of the case. the application of split costa cranioplasty for the small cranium defects in the region of patient’s face is the method with the least possibility of complications, and its cosmetic and functional results are quite promising. introduction os...

INTRODUCTION We present a case report highlighting the unusual location and atypical imaging characteristics of an osteoid osteoma in the juxta-articular region of the femoral head, and treatment of the condition with radiofrequency ablation. This treatment option is low in both risk and morbidity and is therefore the best option in lesions that are difficult to access surgically because of the...
