What are the treatment options?
The traditional treatment was surgical resection. Radiofrequency is now commonly performed with excellent results. There is growing evidence that some osteoid osteomas will resolve with conservative management using NSAIDs.
As noted on the prior radiographs, there is a focal, cortical lucent lesion along the lateral aspect of the proximal femoral diaphysis that measures 5mm in length. There is punctate calcification within this lesion. The lucent lesion is surrounded by robust cortical thickening and sclerosis.
