Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) in 13 patients showed excellent long-term functional outcomes after surgical treatment. Most patients achieved high functional evaluation rates, indicating successful management of these bone tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pediatric Bone Tumors

Background:

  • Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are rare, benign bone tumors that can cause significant morbidity.
  • Long-term functional outcomes and treatment efficacy for ABCs require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term results and functional outcomes of patients treated for primary aneurysmal bone cysts.
  • To assess the effectiveness of surgical interventions for ABCs.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 13 patients with 16 primary aneurysmal bone cysts.
  • Treatment modalities included observation, radiotherapy, and surgical resection with bone grafting.
  • Long-term follow-up averaged 102 months, with functional evaluations performed.

Main Results:

  • Eleven ABCs were treated surgically, primarily with intracapsular resection and bone grafting.
  • Three patients experienced a total of 6 recurrences requiring further treatment.
  • The average functional evaluation rate at follow-up was 96%, with 9 excellent and 4 good outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical treatment for aneurysmal bone cysts can lead to excellent long-term functional outcomes.
  • While recurrences can occur, effective management strategies result in high patient satisfaction and function.
  • Intracapsular resection and bone grafting appear to be effective surgical approaches for ABCs.
