Key Points
• Multiple percutaneous therapies are available for the treatment of both benign and malignant bone neoplasms.
• Thermal ablation is the procedure of choice for the treatment of osteoid osteoma and is increasingly being used for chondroblastoma.
• Palliative thermal ablation of metastatic disease can be performed for pain relief.
• Spinal cementoplasty incorporates both vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. The aim of treatment is to provide pain relief and prevent further collapse.
• Cementoplasty can be performed in the pelvis for pain relief in metastatic disease.
• Vascular embolization can be undertaken either pre-operatively to reduce the risk of intraoperative haemorrhage or for symptomatic control in patients with metastatic disease.
