Abstract
Osteoid osteomas may be treated medically or surgically; both have similar long-term outcomes. Nonetheless, only surgery allows complete excision of the lesion for histological analysis. Excessive removal of surrounding bone may destabilise and weaken the bony structure and predispose it to fractures. We describe a surgical technique using a bone graft trephine to enable precise lesion removal with minimal bone excision.
