title: Osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck: excision through medial approach.
abstract: An 11-year-old girl with osteoid osteoma of the medial femoral neck underwent excision of the lesion through a medial adductor approach. A satisfactory result was achieved without unsightly scarring or internal fixation. The medial adductor approach should be considered when osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck is encountered.
