- Abstract
- Aneurysmal bone cysts associated with tubular bones of
the hand occur rarely and require particular diagnostic and
therapeutic management techniques. While optimal treatment
has not been established, accepted treatments range
from aggressive radical treatment, including en bloc resection
and excision diaphysectomy with strut bone grafting,
to relatively simple techniques, such as thorough curettage
followed by bone graft. Aggressive treatment approaches
may be optimal for the cases with articular surface involvement,
full-bone invasion of the phalanx or metacarpal, or
more than 1 recurrence. We report a monocentric case
of aneurysmal bone cysts involving metacarpal bone in a
child who achieved favorable outcome with curettage and
morselized cancellous bone grafts.
