To measure the ablation zone temperature and nontarget tissue temperature during radiofrequency (RF) ablation in bone containing metal instrumentation versus no metal instrumentation (control group). Ex vivo experiments were performed on 15 swine vertebrae (control, n = 5; titanium screw, n = 5; stainless steel screw, n = 5). Screws and RF ablation probe were inserted identically under fluoroscopy. During RF ablation (3 W, 5 minutes), temperature was measured 10 mm from RF ablation centerpoint and in muscle contacting the screw. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, gross pathologic, and histopathologic analyses were performed on 1 specimen from each group. Ablation zone temperatures at 2.5 and 5 minutes increased by 12.2 °C ± 2.6 °C and 21.5 °C ± 2.1 °C (control); 11.0 °C ± 4.1 °C and 20.0 °C ± 2.9 °C (juxta-titanium screw), and 10.0 °C ± 3.4 °C and 17.2 °C ± 3.5 °C (juxta-stainless steel) screw; differences among groups did not reach significance by analysis of variance (P = .87). Mixed-effects linear regression revealed a statistically significant increase in temperature over time in all 3 groups (4.2 °C/min ± 0.4 °C/min, P < .001). Compared with the control, there was no significant difference in the temperature change over time for titanium (-0.3 °C/min ± 0.5 °C/min, P = .53) or steel groups (-0.4 °C/min ± 0.5 °C/min, P = .38). The mean screw temperature at the final time point did not show a statistically significant change compared with baseline in either the titanium group (-1.2 °C ± 2.3 °C, P = .50) or steel group (2.6 °C ± 2.9 °C, P = .11). MR imaging and pathologic analyses revealed homogeneous ablation without sparing of the peri-hardware zones. Adjacent metallic instrumentation did not affect the rate of or absolute increase in temperature in the ablation zone, did not create peri-metallic ablation inhomogeneities, and did not result in significant nontarget heating of muscle tissue in contact with the metal instrumentation.
