Osteoid osteomas in almost all locations may be treated by percutaneous resection under CT scan guidance. The authors give their own experience with a series of 30 cases. The different techniques of percutaneous resection reported in the literature are reviewed. Advantages of the percutaneous resection are compared to those of classical surgery and other percutaneous techniques such as lesion destruction with thermocoagulation, photocoagulation, and intralesional injection of alcohol.
