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.

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.

Introduction.Simple bone cyst or unicameral bone cysts are benign osteolytic lesions seen in metadiaphysis of long bones in growing children. Various treatment modalities with variable outcomes have been described in the literature. The case report illustrates the surgical technique of minimally invasive method of treatment.Case Study.A 14-year-old boy was diagnosed as active simple bone cyst proximal humerus with pathological fracture. The patient was treated by minimally invasive percutaneous curettage with titanium elastic nail (TENS) and allogenic bone grafting mixed with bone marrow under image intensifier guidance.Results.Pathological fracture was healed and allograft filled in the cavity was well taken up. The patient achieved full range of motion with successful outcome.Conclusion.Minimally invasive percutaneous method using elastic intramedullary nail gives benefit of curettage cyst decompression and stabilization of fracture. Allogenic bone graft fills the cavity and healing of lesion by osteointegration. This method may be considered with advantage of minimally invasive technique in treatment of benign cystic lesions of bone, and the level of evidence was therapeutic level V.

Simple bone cyst (SBC) of the jaws is uncommon, representing approximately 1% of all jaw cysts. It is often accidentally discovered on routine dental examination as it is asymptomatic in most of cases. In this report, we discuss a case of SBC in a 16 years old female who presented in our department for correction of her mal-aligned teeth. On routine x-ray for orthodontic treatment, a well defined, unilocular radiolucent area approximately 3x1cm in size with scalloped borders on the left body of mandible expanding from distal surface of 34 to distal surface of 37 was discovered. Surgical exploration was required for both diagnostic and definitive treatment. The operative finding was hollow cavity without any epithelial lining.
