Simple Bone Cyst Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Results of Multiple Aspirations and Injections of Unicameral Bone Cyst by Methyl Prednisolone Acetate
Evaluation of the efficacy of methyl prednisolone injection in treatment o f simple bone cyst to prevent all possible complications as pathological fractures and to avoid prolonged restriction of physical activity
unicameral bone cysts (UBCs) are benign, fluid-filled cavities that develop in tubular and
flat bones (eg,humerus, femur). These cysts tend to expand and weaken the local bone,but they
are not true neoplasms. In 1876, Virchow1 first described these lesions as cystic structures
caused by abnormalities in local circulation.
UBCs are also known as simple or solitary bone cysts. They occur almost exclusively in
children and adolescents (up to 85% of cases), with a reported peak between ages 3 and14
years and the average age at diagnosis being 9 years.
These lesions represent approximately 3% of all bone tumors and occur more commonly in boys
than in girls (2:1). Several treatment options exist for unicameral bone cysts (UBCs),
including observation, steroid injection, bone marrow injection, and Surgical procedures have
ranged from simple curettage with autologous bone graft or allograft to sub periosteal
resection with internal fixation and grafting
.Treatment by multiple injection of steroids produce minimal surgical approach, no hospital
stay, and very low morbidity. Three or four injections over a period of 12 month may be
enough
