Juxtaphyseal aneurysmal bone cysts, benign lesions near growth plates, can be successfully treated with surgery and bone grafting. This approach preserves normal physeal growth in children.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Skeletal Radiology

Background:

  • Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign bone lesions.
  • Juxtaphyseal ABCs, those near the growth plate, are less commonly documented.
  • Understanding their behavior and treatment is crucial for pediatric bone health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cases of juxtaphyseal aneurysmal bone cysts.
  • To evaluate treatment outcomes and impact on physeal growth.
  • To assess the efficacy of surgical intervention in this specific patient group.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 15 patients with juxtaphyseal ABCs.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, lesion location, and Campanacci classification.
  • Evaluation of surgical treatment (excision, curettage, bone grafting) and follow-up data.

Main Results:

  • All 15 lesions abutted the physeal plate, with types 1, 2, and 3 observed.
  • No growth plate disruption occurred post-treatment.
  • Three patients experienced recurrence, with two lesions migrating away from the physis.

Conclusions:

  • Juxtaphyseal ABCs can be effectively treated with intralesional surgery and bone grafting.
  • This treatment strategy allows for normal physeal growth preservation.
  • Careful surgical technique is essential for favorable outcomes in pediatric patients.
