Elastic intramedullary nailing and DBM-Bone marrow injection for the treatment of simple bone cysts
BACKGROUND Simple or unicameral bone cysts are common benign fluid-filled lesions usually located at the long bones of children before skeletal maturity. METHODS We performed demineralized bone matrix and iliac crest bone marrow injection combined with elastic intramedullary nailing for the treatment of simple bone cysts in long bones of 9 children with a mean age of 12.6 years (range, 4 to 1...
متن کاملTreatment of unicameral bone cysts in pediatric patients with an injectable regenerative graft: a preliminary report.
BACKGROUND Multiple treatment modalities exist for unicameral bone cysts (UBC), including steroid injection, autologous bone marrow injection, mechanical decompression, intramedullary fixation, curettage, and bone grafting. All have their own potential limitations such as high recurrence rates, cyst persistence, need for multiple procedures, and prolonged immobilization. A minimally invasive re...
متن کاملA Novel Minimally Invasive Technique for Treatment of Unicameral Bone Cysts
Management of unicameral bone cysts (UBC) remain controversial. These cysts seldom heal spontaneously or even after pathological fracture. Sometimes these cysts can be very large and incredibly troublesome to the patient. Various treatments exist with variable success rates. We present our experience of treating these lesions by continuous drainage. Over a seven year period, six patients with u...
متن کاملUnusual localizations of unicameral bone cysts and aneurysmal bone cysts: A retrospective review of 451 cases.
Unicameral bone cysts (UBC) and aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign cystic lesions of bone which are easily diagnosed. However, unusual locations may lead to a false diagnosis. Therefore the aim of this retrospective study was to determine the frequency of unusual localizations. The authors studied 451 cases with histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of UBC or ABC, seen between 1981 and 20...
متن کاملUnicameral bone cysts: general characteristics and management controversies.
Unicameral bone cysts are benign bone lesions that are often asymptomatic and commonly develop in the proximal humerus and femur of skeletally immature patients. The etiology of these lesions remains unknown. Most patients present with a pathologic fracture, but these cysts can be discovered incidentally, as well. Radiographically, a unicameral bone cyst appears as a radiolucent lesion with cor...
