Percutaneous CT guided resection of osteoid osteoma of the tibial plafond.
Foot & Ankle International 2000 July
Osteoid osteomas of the foot and ankle are relatively rare and notoriously difficult to diagnose. Juxta-articular osteoid osteomas are more difficult to treat and often have a significant delay in diagnosis. We report a case of a juxta-articular osteoid osteoma of the tibial plafond. Once the diagnosis was made, excisional biopsy was performed percutaneously under computed tomography (CT) guidance as an outpatient in the radiology suite. The patient had complete resolution of symptoms and remains pain free at two years follow-up. CT guided resection can be a lower morbidity and more cost effective technique to treat this lesion than traditional methods.
