OLIVERA NUNEZ, Dany et al. Tratamiento de quistes oseos aneurismaticos con aloinjerto. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2016, vol.81, n.2, pp.128-138. ISSN 1852-7434.

Backround: Patients with aneurysmal bone cyst pose diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Multiple therapeutic options have been described. Objective: To evaluate the results obtained in patients treated with curettage and filling with bone allograft. Methods: Sixteen cysts, corresponding to 15 patients were evaluated, with a minimum follow-up of 28 months and a median follow-up of 83 months. Results: Average age was 10 years (range 3-16). The main complication was recurrence in 37.5% of patients, being more frequent with physeal involvement (62.5% vs. 12.5% without involvement; p = 0.05). The recurrence rate was unchanged for both sexes, for different ages and regarding the use or not of high-speed burr. Conclusion: We think that the treatment performed is safe, but recurrence rate is high, similar to that reported in other series.

Keywords : Aneurysmal bone cyst; Allograft.
