Background & Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes sclerotherapy for Aneurysmal bone cysts. Methods: carried out on 19 patients cysts treated in Department Orthopedics. Information compiled from details, case files procedure records. This a prospective study. Patient follow up minimum 6 months maximum 24 (2 years). Results: Excellent or good ...

From a total of 1571 surgically excised menisci, 112 (7.1 per cent) were found by gross and microscopic examination to contain one or more cysts. All of these cysts were associated with tears, either primarily horizontal or with a horizontal component. Tracks were often demonstrable leading from the tear to the cysts, and in some cases of osteoarthritis, detritus of bone could be found in their...

Cement-osseous dysplasia is a disease of localized fibrotic connective tissue proliferation accompanying cementum or bone-like hard at the tooth apex, while simple bone cyst specific featuring cavity without epithelial lining. Here, we report case cement-osseous associated with multiple cysts resembling cavities. A 60-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due complaint recurring pain and ...

OBJECTIVES To examine the contents of intraosseous cysts in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through the signal intensity characteristics on gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS The hand or foot joints of nine patients with the cystic form of RA (where the initial radiological abnormality consisted of intraosseous cysts without erosions) were imaged be...

Old calcified fibrin coagula are frequently found in simple bone cysts. They provide a scaffold on which new bone is laid down, in a process analogous to endochondral ossification. It is suggested that these coagula are derived in substantial part from the plasma-like contents of the cyst, after the release of plasma-clotting factors as the result of injury. Major haemorrhage is not involved an...

In the advanced stages of osteoarthritis cystic formations are frequently encountered, ranging in size from that of a pin-point to that of a cherry. They occur mainly in relation to the weight-bearing joints, and in those regions of the articular surface that are subjected to a major load and where, in advanced osteoarthritis, the cartilaginous surface has been either entirely or largely worn a...

Osseous hydatid disease is a rare but serious condition. Treatment is difficult because of the progressive course of the bone involvement and generally admitted algorithm about osseous hydatid disease. We report a sixyear follow-up of a case with involvement of the left femur, treated with an unconnected surgical method and albendazole. In this patient a 1 cm segment of the cortex between the t...

INTRODUCTION Curettage of the cyst and bone grafting are the most common methods used in the treatment of unicameral bone cysts (UBC) and aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC). Recurrence of these cysts is often associated with insufficient curettage of the cyst during surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of insufficient curettage on recurrence in patients with UBC and ABC. METHODS T...

The aneurysmal bone cyst is a type of pseudocysts of the jaw. It is a nonneoplastic lesion of the bone, characterized by replacement with fibro-osseous tissue containing blood-filled sinusoidal or cavernous spaces. The lesion remains a relatively uncommon finding in the facial bones, and the cause and pathogenesis are yet to be elucidated. Aneurysmal bone cyst was first described as a distinct ...

INTRODUCTION Spinal simple bone cysts, also known as solitary cysts, are extremely unusual benign primary bone tumors with few cases reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION Incidental Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) finding of a C2 Simple bone cyst in a 13-year-old female patient is reported. Complementary studies suggested the benign nature of the lesion. Patient underwent cervical cu...
