%X Osteoid osteomas (OOs) are non-malignant primary bone abnormalities marked by a central nidus surrounded by reactive sclerosis. They typically manifest as aggravated nocturnal pain that responds to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These growths are most frequently found within the intracortical bone and the diaphysis of elongated bones. Within the realm of uncommon conditions, intra-articular OOs (IAOOs) exhibit distinctive presentations, often leading to postponed or inaccurate diagnoses. We present a patient with OO at the distal femur, accessible through the knee joint, which was intraoperatively identified and localized using a needle pricking technique and treated by arthrotomy and mosaicplasty.
