Percutaneous extra-articular excision of femoral neck osteoid osteoma: report of a new method.
A simple new way for excision of intramedullary osteoid osteoma from the femoral neck without going through the hip joint is described. A trephine hole starting distal to the great trochanter with fluoroscopy guidance is used. This procedure (for such a lesion) has not been reported in the literature.
