Treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts using endoscopic curettage
2018
Background Although
aneurysmal bone cysts(ABCs) are
benign tumours, they have the potential to be locally aggressive. Various treatment approaches, such as en bloc resection, open
curettage, radiotherapy,
sclerotherapy, and embolization have been proposed, but the most appropriate treatment should be selected after considering the risk of tumour recurrence and treatment complications. Endoscopic
curettage(ESC) may be a less invasive alternative to open
curettagefor ABC treatment. We aimed to describe the use of ESC for the treatment of ABCs and to report our clinical outcomes, including the incidence rate of recurrence, radiological appearance at final follow-up, time to solid union, complications, and postoperative function.
