Hip arthroscopy for excision of osteoid osteoma and for the application of a collagen cartilage implant: Case report in a professional athlete, and literature review

摘要

BACKGROUND: Osteoid osteoma is an osteoblastic benign bone tumor usually affecting young adolescents. Intra-articular lesions are not common; usually the diagnosis is delayed. A lot of studies report difficulties and complications in the management of osteoid osteoma of the hip joint using imaging guided techniques or open surgical procedures. Only few published cases have described that it can be treated precisely using hip arthroscopy. Additionally, the use of hip arthroscopy to apply the Chondrofiller (R), an acellular collagen matrix for the management of articular cartilage defects of the hip joint, has not yet been described.
