title: Acetabular osteoid osteoma excision by controlled hip dislocation: a case report.
abstract: Osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum is rare and its treatment represents a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with osteoid osteoma in the acetabulum who was treated with a controlled hip dislocation and a gamma probe guide to facilitate excision. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology. The patient was asymptomatic immediately after surgery and remained so at long-term follow-up.
