Résumé
Multiple interventional radiology techniques are available for percutaneous ablation of bone tumors: alcohol, laser, radiofrequency, microwave, ultrasound, and cryogenic ablation. Several indications have already been validated, including radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma and bone metastases, with results superior to conventional treatment. More indications should be added over the coining years. The purpose of this article is to review the principles of the different ablation techniques, summarize their respective indications and results and discuss their implementation and the eventual combination with cementoplasty techniques.
