Radiofrequency ablation is the use of low-voltage high-frequency electrical energy to heat and destroy abnormal tissues within the human body. It has gained increasing acceptance as both a primary and secondary form of treatment in the musculoskeletal system because of its excellent safety profile, ease of use, and technical success. In the musculoskeletal system, radiofrequency ablation may be used to treat a wide range of lesions that include primary lesions such as osteoid osteomas and a variety of metastases both within the osseous skeleton as well as those lying within the muscles and soft tissues. In this chapter, a background to the principles, physics, and indications of radiofrequency is presented as well as an in-depth description of radiofrequency ablation techniques that may be utilized in the musculoskeletal system.
射频消融是利用低电压高频电能来加热并破坏人体内的异常组织。由于其出色的安全性、易用性和技术成功率，它作为肌肉骨骼系统的主要和次要治疗方式越来越被广泛接受。在肌肉骨骼系统中，射频消融可用于治疗多种病变，包括原发性病变，如骨样骨瘤，以及骨骼内和肌肉与软组织内的各种转移瘤。在本章中，介绍了射频的原理、物理特性和适应症背景，以及可用于肌肉骨骼系统的射频消融技术的深入描述。
