Persistence or recurrence of pain: a sign of surgical failure is osteoid-osteoma

A Norman. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 1978 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Excision of an osteoid-osteoma brings prompt and permanent relief from symptoms. Recurrence of pain indicates persistence or failure to totally remove the nidus (9 of 73 patients), and only rarely a true recurrence. Long symptom-free intervals may follow partial excision of the lesion.
