Percutaneous navigation surgery of osteoid osteoma of the femur neck

Abstract

Surgery on benign bone tumors such as osteoid osteoma does not necessarily require bone exposure through a surgical incision. In most reported cases of the osteoid osteoma resection through computer-assisted surgery, registration and surgery were performed by exposing the bone. We have succeeded in performing percutaneous registration and navigated burr excision of the osteoid osteoma using computer-assisted navigation.
