ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation of osteoid osteoma in children.Methods Nine children with osteoid osteoma proved by histopathology were treated with CT-guided cryoablation from January 2007 to January 2010.There were 6 boys and 3 girls.Their mean age was ( 13.0 + 1.6 ) years ( ranging from 10.0-15.0 years ).The procedures were performed under local anesthesia.Eight G bone biopsy needles for biopsy and 17 G freezing needles were used in the procedure.CT guidance was used for procedural planning,instrument guidance,and monitoring.Each cryoablation included two freezing-thawing cycles.Follow-up was performed to assess technical and clinical outcome.A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess severity of pain pre- and post-procedure,and mean VAS for the group was compared pre- and post-procedure with Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test.Results Biopsy and cryoablation were successfully performed in all children.No major immediate or postponed complications were observed.Significant pain relief ( P < 0.01 ) was observed in all patients after procedure.The VAS of preoperation(8 points 1 case,7 points 3 cases,6 points 4 cases,5 points 1 case) compared with that of one month after operation ( 1 point 4 cases,0 point 5 cases),the difference was statistically significant( H =32.838,P < 0.01 ).These patients were allowed to fully weight-bear and function without limitation 3 days after the procedure.Pain was obviously released.Pain recurrence was not observed in all patients.Moderate fever (37.8 ℃ ) was observed in a patient one day after operation and fully recovered 2 days later.Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation is a safe and effective minimally invasive method for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in children.
