Abstract:
Treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) located in the distal third fibula adjacent to the growth plate, can be problematic. The first choice of treatment for these lesions has been cyst curettage and bone graft. Complications include the high recurrence rate, possible growth-plate injury, and possible ankle instability associated with that treatment led to the development of other surgical options. We used en bloc resection and proximal third fibular bone reconstruction to treat an 8-year-old female patient with a distal third fibular ABC close to the growth plate. There was no recurrence, growth-plate injury, or ankle instability at 30-month follow-up.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
