The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical effects of I125 implantation combined with radiofrequency ablation in treating bone metastases (BM) and analyze its clinical application so as to provide better treatment protocols for the treatment of BM. A total of 63 BM patients were randomly divided into the I125 implantation group (CON, treated with I125 seeds alone, 33 patients) and the combination group (I125-MA, 30 patients) to compare the clinical efficacy and adverse effects. After treatment, the clinical efficacy of Group I125-MA was significantly better than Group CON, and the quality of life was improved significantly (P< 0.05). I125-MA has relatively better clinical efficacy in treating BM, which can not only significantly improve patients’ life quality but also cause no serious adverse reaction. The therapy of I125 implantation combined with radiofrequency ablation provides a new idea for treating bone metastases. Compare Group I125-MA and Group CON, remission rates of bone pain were 76.7% vs 42.4% (P< 0.05); movement ability: 73.3% vs 39.4% (P< 0.05); quality of life: improvement rates: 70% vs 42.4% (P< 0.05), the median initial time of relieve pain: 3.5 days vs 7.6 days (P< 0.05).
