A member asked:

How could i know that the surgical removal of the osteod osteoma inside the bone of the ankle will not affect badly the tissues& nerves around.help me?

Good techniques: There are many less invasive techniques now to access an osteoid osteoma, so there would be less damage to the local soft tissues.
