Background
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor mainly affecting young adults, causing typical nocturnal pain relieved by aspirin. Percutaneous ablation is the gold standard.

Risks
Fracture (rare), skin burn, nerve injury (spinal location), recurrence (5%).
Recovery
Same-day discharge. Pain resolution within days. No routine follow-up imaging.
Practical information
General anesthesia. Hospital stay: one to two nights.
