Background: Osteoid osteomas (OO) are the third most common benign bone tumors affecting mostly children and adolescents with more tendency toward males. There are different treatment options consisting of medical therapy . Of note percutaneous thermal ablation (PTA) procedures that refer to radio frequency ablation (RFA) and interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) have also been recently applied with high success rates. Objectives: We aimed to assess the safety and outcomes of RFL and ILP in patients with OO as well as compare the efficacy of these two procedures. Results: In patients who underwent RFA, pain was relieved within 1 - 7 days in 35, and 1 - 3 months in five patients. Primary and secondary clinical effectiveness were 90.00% and 92.50%, respectively. In ILP, the technical success rate was 100% and the initial clinical success rate was 85.00%. Conclusion: Similar to previous published studies, this study showed high success rates for both RFA and ILA. Total pain relief occurred in 96.6% of the patients.
