title: [Advantages and disadvantages of peroperative isotopic localization in the excision of osteoid osteoma. Considerations apropos of 6 cases].
abstract: We have excised six cases of osteoid osteoma in children, by using intra-operative accurate radioactive localization. The value of this technique is considerable and allows a better localization of the lesion. Exact detection and elective excision are the two advantages of this technique. We are reporting these case and describing the equipment being used.
