An 11-year-old Gordon setter bitch was presented with a history of progressive weakness in the right hind limb associated with pain in the lumbar spine. Neurological deficits consisted of ataxia, monoparesis, muscle atrophy and spontaneous over-knuckling of the affected limb. A large 'juxtaarticular' cyst located in a right dorsolateral position of the intervertebral foramen at L3-L4 was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. The cyst was removed through a modified laminectomy. The dog recovered quickly and returned to the owners 4 days after surgery with slight neurological symptoms. During the follow-up examination 2 and 6 months later, the Setter showed normal gait and neurological examination.

Joint-sparing resection of juxta-articular knee tumors is challenging. With the development of 3D printing technology, custom-made cutting guides were introduced with the aim to improve the accuracy of tumor resection margins and to shape the allograft for adequate matching in biological reconstruction. Between December 2017 and July 2023, 13 patients underwent joint-sparing juxta-articular resection of the knee for a primary bone tumor at our institution.

Introduction: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign intra-osseous lesion. The lesion is painful and usually diagnosed by x-ray, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When the lesion is juxta-articular or intra-capsular, the symptoms may present differently than the typical OO lesion and make diagnosis more challenging.
