Abstract:
An aneurysmal bone cyst is rare in the patella. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with chronic pain and no previous trauma history. Treatment included curettage of the cyst and filling with a corticocancellous graft. Thirty-one months after surgery, the knee was mobile and painless and graft incorporation was good.

This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
