Treatment of Aneurysmal Bone Cysts with Bioactive Glass in Children

Sclerotherapy with polidocanol for treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent data suggest that percutaneous sclerotherapy is a safe alternative to surgery for treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs). We present our experience of this method. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from 38 consecutive patients treated with repeated injections of polidocanol. Each injection consisted of 2-4 mg polidocanol per kg body weight. Radiological...

Current Strategies for the Treatment of Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign bone tumors that usually present in childhood and early adulthood. They usually manifest as expansile osteolytic lesions with a varying potential to be locally aggressive. Since their first description in 1942, a variety of treatment methods has been proposed. Traditionally, these tumors were treated with open surgery. Either intralesional surgical procedures or...

Spontaneous Healing of Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

We report three cases of spontaneous healing of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC). In one case histological material was obtained after resection of the already ossified expansile mass discovered as a lytic lesion seven months previously. In the two other patients, spontaneous ossification of a radiologically presumed ABC in the lytic and expansile phase was observed after nine and seven months respe...

Bone regeneration in dentistry using bioactive glass 49S :A review

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 49S bioactive glass nanoparticles made by sol-gel technique on bone regeneration in dentistry. These glass are especially used as bone repair materials because of their properties such as biodegradability and bioactivity, so they seem to be successful in orthopedic and dental surgery. Material and Methods: Acoording to this...
