Osteoid Osteoma Involving the Hip

Cartilage-Preserving Arthroscopic-Assisted Radiofrequency Ablation of Periacetabular Osteoid Osteoma in a Young Adult Hip

“…1 The nidus produces elevated levels of prostaglandin, which are the primary source of pain in patients with these lesions. 2 OOs typically manifest during adolescence and are most prominent in young adults. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can control symptoms briefly and sometimes spontaneously induce regression.…”

“…Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can control symptoms briefly and sometimes spontaneously induce regression. 2 With lesions localized around the hip, clinical manifestations of OO include the abductor lurch, positive Trendelenburg sign, and restricted range of hip motion resulting from synovitis. 2 Although conservative treatment with NSAIDs can be used to manage and treat OO, surgical intervention is considered in refractory cases.…”

“…2 With lesions localized around the hip, clinical manifestations of OO include the abductor lurch, positive Trendelenburg sign, and restricted range of hip motion resulting from synovitis. 2 Although conservative treatment with NSAIDs can be used to manage and treat OO, surgical intervention is considered in refractory cases. Methods of surgical technique have included arthroscopic excision, which removes the lesion with the surrounding sclerotic bone.…”
