Cryoablation of osteoid osteoma: two case reports.
Contemporary treatment of osteoid osteoma involves percutaneous imaging-guided therapy. Radiofrequency ablation (under computed tomographic guidance) remains the standard of care. Herein, the authors describe the successful treatment of two osteoid osteomas by using percutaneous cryoablation in difficult-to-access areas.
