Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective case series over a 30-month period involved 10 consecutive adult patients (nine male and one female patients; mean age, 27.9 years; age range, 16-49 years) who underwent CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation for management of osteoid osteoma. Clinical and technical success was evaluated with postprocedure MRI at 4-5 weeks and with digital numeric pain scores taken before and immediately after the procedure, as well as at primary follow-up (4-10 weeks; average, 5 weeks) and secondary follow-up (23-29 weeks; average, 24 weeks). RESULTS: Clinical and technical success rates were 100%. Average digital numeric pain scores were 7.4 before the procedure, 1.5 after procedure, 0.5 at the primary follow-up, and 0.3 at secondary follow-up. No minor or major complications were noted during the procedure, recovery period, primary follow-up, or secondary follow-up. CONCLUSION:
