Summary

Bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate) significantly reduced local recurrence rates in aneurysmal bone cysts compared to bone grafts. This finding offers a more effective treatment for these non-spinal bone lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, expansile bone lesions.
  • Local recurrence after treatment can be a significant challenge.
  • Polymethylmethacrylate (bone cement) is a biomaterial used in orthopedic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of polymethylmethacrylate (bone cement) in controlling primary aneurysmal bone cysts.
  • To compare the local recurrence rates between bone cementation and bone grafting after curettage.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 30 patients treated with curettage and bone graft versus 35 patients treated with curettage and bone cement.
  • Bone cement was packed into the defect, with 30 patients later undergoing bone grafting after cement removal.

  • Follow-up ranged from 24 to 161 months (median 59.5 months).

    • Main Results:

    • The local recurrence rate was 17% after curettage and cementation, compared to 37% after curettage and bone graft.
    • A significant difference in cumulative 10-year relapse-free survival was observed between the groups.
    • The median time to local recurrence was 17 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Polymethylmethacrylate (bone cement) demonstrates superior local control for primary aneurysmal bone cysts compared to bone grafting.
    • Curettage followed by bone cement packing offers a reduced risk of local recurrence.
    • This approach may improve long-term outcomes for patients with aneurysmal bone cysts.
