“…Experiences regarding percutaneous thermal ablation of other bone tumors are limited and rely mainly on case reports or small case series, examples of which include the treatment of chondroblastoma [33], eosinophilic granuloma [34] or desmoid tumors [35]. In individual cases, indication for this treatment can be provided due to a difficult local tumor situation, if surgical resection would involve extended damage to adjacent structures, for example [36], or if the patient refuses surgery.…”

The aim of this article is to review the significance of percutaneous thermal ablation in the treatment of bone tumors. We describe available ablation techniques as well as advantages and disadvantages in specific settings. In detail, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), laser ablation, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and cryoablation are presented. In the second part of this review curative and palliative indications for the treatment of benign and malignant bone tumors are discussed. This includes especially RFA, laser or cryoablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma, as well as the palliative treatment of painful bone metastases, for example, by means of MWA or MR-guided HIFU. Key Points: ??The various thermoablative techniques demonstrate specific advantages and disadvantages. ??Radiofrequency ablation is the evidence-based method of choice for treating osteoid osteoma. ??Laser ablation is primarily suited for the treatment of small lesions of the hands and feet. ??The intrinsically analgesic effect of cryoablation is advantageous when treating painful lesions. ??Palliative treatment of painful bone metastases can for example be performed using MWA or MR-guided HIFU, by itself or combined with cementoplasty.

“…RFA and other ablation techniques have been used to treat a variety of bone and soft tissue lesions such as osteoid osteomas, chondroblastomas, metastases, phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour, chondromyxoid fibroma, intracortical chondromas, enchondromas, eosinophilic granuloma, epithelioid haemangioma and extra-abdominal desmoid/fibromatosis [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] ( Figure 14). Any type of normal or abnormal tissue can be destroyed by an increase of temperature .60°C.…”

The knee is a common area of the body to undergo interventional procedures. This article discusses image-guided interventional issues specific to the knee area. The soft tissues in and around the knee are frequently affected by sportrelated injuries and often need image-guided intervention. This article details the specific technical issues related to intervention in these soft tissues, including the iliotibial tract, fat pads, patellar tendon and other tendons, bursae and the meniscus. Most often, simple procedures such as injection and aspiration are performed without image guidance. Rarely image-guided diagnostic arthrography and therapeutic joint injections are necessary. The technique, indications and diagnostic considerations for arthrography are discussed in this article. Primary bone and softtissue tumours may involve the knee and adjacent soft tissues. Image-guided biopsies are frequently necessary for these lesions; this article details the technical issues related to image-guided biopsy around the knee. A number of newer ablation treatments are now available, including cryoablation, high-frequency ultrasound and microwave ablation. Radiofrequency ablation, however, still remains the most commonly employed ablation technique. The indications, technical and therapeutic considerations related to the application of this technique around the knee are discussed here. Finally, we briefly discuss some newer, but as of yet, unproven image-guided interventions for osteochondral lesions and Brodie's abscess. INTRODUCTIONThe knee is one of the commonest joints affected by osteoarthritis and other internal derangements, such as ligament and meniscal pathology, which may need imageguided and surgical management. The tissues around the knee are also a common site for bone tumours and intervention in the form of biopsy or ablation is often performed around the knee. Interventions such as injections are routinely performed in the knee and, in most instances, are performed in the outpatient setting without any image guidance. In this article, we discuss issues related to imageguided intervention specific to the knee joint. Detailed descriptions of the techniques and the merits of most of the procedures are described elsewhere in this issue. We also discuss newer techniques such as drainage of abscess and retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions, even though there is sparse literature on these procedures and the evidence is limited currently.

“…Treatment often includes radiation and chemotherapy, though radiation occasionally induces additional desmoid tumors in the adjacent tissue [ 33 ]. Early experience suggests that cryoablation of desmoid tumors that do not involve vital structures provides long-term disease-free response in adults [ 35 ]; this may warrant further investigation in children.…”

The chapter is divided in two parts: the fi rst part discusses benign masses and the second addresses malignancies. Vascular lesions are discussed, differentiating between high-fl ow and low-fl ow lesions. Fatty lesions, neurofibromas, tumoral calcinosis, and myositis ossifi cans are described in detail, and hematomas, popliteal cysts, and other lesions are presented more briefl y. The following section on malignant masses focuses on sarcomas and other fi brous tumors. The discussion of sarcomas includes infantile fi brosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, lymphoma/leukemia, as well as lesions such as epithelioid sarcoma, granulocytic sarcoma, liposarcoma, extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma/osteosarcoma, and hemangiopericytoma.
