Abstract

The researchers discuss the first experience of treating 9 pediatric patients with osteoid osteoma (3), primary chronic osteomyelitis (4) and aneurysmal cysts (2). Selected patients had complex treatment which included unloading of the diseased segment of the skeleton and laser ablation of the pathological focus. Laser ablation was done with medical laser «AZOR-ALM», emitting light at wavelength 1.55 μm. Registration certificate No. RZN 2015/2720 of Roszdravnadzor. Manufacturer – LLC «AZOR» (Moscow). Small tumors and inflammatory diseases of the skeleton were surgically treated with high-level laser light in the computed tomography room. Patients with lesions of lower extremities and pelvis previously had spinal anesthesia. If a pathologic focus was located in bones of upper extremities, regional brachial plexus blockage was preferable. In all cases, positive outcomes were seen. Follow-up lasted for 6 months.
