Introduction: The Unicameral Bone Cyst (UBC) is a benign osteolytic lesion primarily found in the metaphyseal part of long bones in children. It is important as it can involve growth plate involvement, cause pathological fractures and deformities of the affected limb. We report this case to emphasize that hip area pathologies can be represented with knee pain and discomfort. Case Presentation: The patient was a 9-year-old girl with a bone cyst in the right proximal femur, with functional knee pain and limping. The diagnosis was made after two years of pain in the knee area. As the cyst was symptomatic and the signs of impending pathological fracture were seen, the lesion was managed by curettage and fibular strut allograft and proximal humerus locking plate. Conclusions: The patient has been examined for knee joint problems for a long time, and her femur bone cyst was diagnosed after two years of pain. However, it could become a pathologic fracture or involve the growth plate and stop the limb’s growth, thus affecting the patient’s quality of life. Therefore, in children with chronic knee pain, careful assessment of the hip area is recommended.

An 18-month-old warmblood filly was 4/5 lame on the front right limb at referral and showed severe swelling of the right shoulder region and pain during manipulation of the shoulder region. Radiography revealed a roundish 5 × 7 cm radiolucent area with defined borders within the greater tubercle and the presence of a fracture of the lateral tubercle associated with the cyst. Cellular blood count was 27,500 WBC/μL and serum biochemical analyses revealed fibrinogen of 855 mg/dL. The fractured bone was removed surgically; the cyst debrided and filled with autologous cancellous bone graft. Three and five weeks after surgery the filly was reoperated on because of an osseous sequestrum and a periostal defect on the distal dorsolateral aspect of the pastern of the right hind limb and a septic synovitis of the DFTS of the left hind limb. Fifteen month after surgery the filly was not lame and was introduced to training. Unicameral bone cysts (UBC) are well described lesions, often associated to pathologic fracture in the proximal humerus of children but, until present, no scientific report exists of UBC in the foal. The prompt surgical management had a favorable outcome.

Purpose. To elucidate the natural history of unicameral bone cyst (UBC) and risk factors for pathological fracture. Methods. 14 males and 8 females (mean age, 9 years) diagnosed with UBC were reviewed. Cyst location, symptoms, and whether there was any fracture or surgery were recorded. Cyst parameters were measured on radiographs, and included (1) the cyst index, (2) the ratio of the widest cyst diameter to the growth plate diameter, and (3) the adjusted distance of the cyst border from the growth plate. Results. There were 11 upper- and 11 lower-limb cysts. 13 patients had pathological fractures and 9 did not. 20 patients were treated conservatively with limb immobilisation; 2 underwent curettage and bone grafting (one resolved and one did not). Seven cysts resolved (5 had fractures and 2 did not). The risk of fracture was higher in the upper than lower limbs (100% vs 18%, p<0.001). Fractured cysts were larger than unfractured cysts (mean cyst index, 4.5 vs. 2.2, p=0.07). Active cysts were more likely to fracture. Conclusion. Conservative management had a 30% resolution rate. Surgery should be considered for large active cysts in the upper limbs in order to minimise the fracture risk.

Background. Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, expansive, osteolytic lesion that mainly occurs in young people, and involves the skull bones only exceptionally. The origin of ABC is controversial: secondary reactive bone lesion, or primary disease that represents an independent nosological entity. Blunt head trauma was suggested as a possible etiological factor. Case report. A case of a 19-year old man with primary ABC of the right frontal bone was reported. The lesion was totally excised through frontal craniotomy, and the skull bone defect primarily reconstructed with an acrilate cranioplasty. Five years after the surgery, the patient was without signs of local recurrence. Conclusion. Clinical and neuroradiological presentation of the skull ABC was not specific. Pathohistology confirmed the diagnosis. Total excision was the treatment of choice.

Abstract Background:Chronic knee pain after a total knee replacement has been estimated to affect 10 to 30% of patients and is related to dissatisfaction with surgery, reduced function and reduced quality of life. Rehabilitation is often prescribed in the subacute period post-operatively, but it may offer benefit to the increasing numbers of patients with chronic pain after their knee replacement. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation to improve pain, function and quality of life in people with chronic knee pain persisting for more than 3 months following a total knee replacement.Methods: The systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines with a search of the online databases Ovid Medline, Embase via Ovid, CINAHL Plus, PsycINFO, Ovid Emcare and Proquest from their earliest date to July 12, 2020. The search criteria included English language randomised controlled trials of rehabilitation strategies in any setting to treat people with chronic knee pain, defined as knee pain persisting for more than 3 months, following a total knee replacement. Rehabilitation programs included exercise therapy, patient education, cognitive and mind-body strategies and self-management and excluded medication trials, procedural techniques and complementary therapies. Results:There were 254 abstracts screened for eligibility with 13 remaining for full-text screening. Following full-text screening, there were no studies that met the eligibility criteria for evaluating rehabilitation therapy to treat chronic knee pain persisting for more than 3 months following a total knee replacement.Conclusion:Despite the high volume of knee replacement surgery and the high incidence of moderate to severe chronic pain ensuing, there is currently no evidence available that rehabilitation commencing three months after surgery can effectively treat chronic pain and disability following a total knee replacement.
