Abstract Introduction To report a series of patients with osteoid osteoma treated by radiofrequency ablation in whom no complications or recurrences occurred. Methods Over a 13‐year period, 32 consecutive patients with osteoid osteoma were treated by radiofrequency ablation in an Australasian teaching centre. Results All patients had resolution of symptoms with no complication or recurrence. Conclusions This series is further evidence for the use of radiofrequency ablation as the primary treatment for osteoid osteoma.
