Os cistos ósseos simples são, em regra, assintomáticos e encontrados incidentalmente, embora possam causar dor, edema, rigidez da articulação adjacente ou estarem associados a um quadro de fratura patológica. A curetagem é o modo mais comum de tratamento. O defeito ósseo após curetagem deve ser preenchido com enxertos ósseos ou substitutos, como hidroxiapatita, fosfato tricálcico e cimento. Entretanto, a falha no tratamento pode ser devastadora para o ombro, em decorrência da perda biomecânica da área. Assim, a reconstrução do úmero proximal, após a ressecção do cisto, é um grande desafio para o cirurgião ortopédico. Este caso relata a colocação de uma prótese reversa de ombro (PRO), realizada após a falha do tratamento de um cisto ósseo simples, como uma solução eficiente para a reparação do problema.   Simple bone cyst are commonly asymptomatic and incidentally found, although they can cause pain, edema, stiffness of the adjacent joint or be associated with a pathological fracture. Curettage is the most common way of treating simple bone cysts. The bone defect after curettage must be filled with bone grafts or substitutes such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate and cement. However, treatment failure can be devastating for the shoulder, due to the biomechanical loss of the area. Thus, the reconstruction of the proximal humerus after resection of the cyst is a major challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. This case reports the placement of a reverse shoulder prosthesis (PRO), performed after the failure of the treatment of a simple bone cyst, as an efficient solution to the problems related to the failure of treatment for the simple bone cyst.

Simple bone cysts are nonsymptomatic lesions. They typically involve the medullary cavity, but they can also be found in nonlong bones such as the calcaneum. Their treatment remains controversial varying from observation and conservative healing to irritating injections or bone grafting. In the case of a pathologic fracture, surgical treatment seems most appropriate especially when the cyst is situated on a weight-bearing bone. We present herein the rare case of a spontaneously healed pathological fracture over a critical-size calcaneal cyst of a patient reluctant to undergo surgical treatment. An interpretation of the healing procedure as well as a review of the literature is presented.

Introduction Simple bone cyst is benign fluid-filled lesion localized mainly in long bones. It is usually diagnosed in the first two decades, the most common in proximal humerus. Unicameral bone cyst is o›en asymptomatic but can cause pathological fracture. Aim of the study The aim of our study was to evaluate clinical, diagnostic and treatment factors concerning patients with simple bone cyst. Material and methods The retrospective analysis was performed on 22 patients treated in Department of Traumatology, Orthopaedics and Hand Surgery in Poznań between 2001 and 2017. We have analyzed epidemiological factors: age and sex; symptoms; clinical examination: range of motion, presence of pain; X-ray: localisation, cyst index of Kaelin and MacEwan and presence of pathological fractures; treatment: methods, number of hospitalizations and effectiveness. Results Mean age of patients was 10.8. From 22 patients 11 were females. Generally bone cyst was diagnosed because of pathological fracture – 18 patients (85.7%). Other reasons of X-ray diagnostic were: pain – 2 patients (9.1%), deformity – 1 patient (4.5%), incidentally – 2 patients (9.1%). The bone cyst was localized in humerus – 21 patients (95.5%), radius – 1 patient (4.5%). Treatment methods were various: 7 patients (31.8%) – Depomedrol injections, 4 patients (18.1%) – marrow injections, 4 patients (18.1%) – marrow and Depomedrol injections, 5 patients (22.7%) – injections with additional bone gra›s, 3 patients (13.6%) – only bone gra›s. Conclusions Simple bone cyst occurs generally in young people (under twenty). The most common problem is a pathological fracture. Treatment is long and multistage.
