TLDR
A retrospective review of 75 children with unicameral bone cysts, who had sustained 52 pathological fractures, to determine which cysts were likely to be at risk and whether healing was accelerated after a fracture was carried out.Abstract:
We carried out a retrospective review of 75 children with unicameral bone cysts, who had sustained 52 pathological fractures, to determine which cysts were likely to be at risk and whether healing was accelerated after a fracture. Most lesions were in the metaphysis of a tubular bone, the commonest sites being the the upper part of the humerus and femur. The percentage of bone occupied by the cyst in the transverse plane was more than 85% in both anteroposterior and lateral radiographs in every case of pathological fracture. In most cases, the cyst recurred and sometimes became large without any acceleration of healing.read more

Unicameral bone cysts. Natural history and the risk of fracture

TL;DR: It is found that measuring the cyst index in patients treated by injections of methylprednisolone acetate helps to assess the response to treatment and determine whether there is a significant risk of fracture which would warrant treatment.

Unicameral Bone Cysts
TL;DR: Newer techniques involving percutaneous grafting with allograft or bone substitutes or a combination of the two are promising in light of their low complication rate and lower reoperation rate.

Predicting fracture through benign skeletal lesions with quantitative computed tomography.

TL;DR: It is believed that the combination of bending and torsional rigidity measured noninvasively with quantitative computed tomography was more accurate for predicting pathologic fracture through benign bone lesions in children than were standard radiographic criteria.

Unicameral Bone Cyst: A Retrospective Study of Three Surgical Treatments
Anthony D. Sung,Megan E. Anderson,Megan E. Anderson,David Zurakowski,Francis J. Hornicek,Mark C. Gebhardt,Mark C. Gebhardt +6 more
TL;DR: SDB is a reasonable first treatment for unicameral bone cysts in the humerus and femur in patients younger than 20 years, being less invasive yet comparable to curettage in preventing recurrence, according to multivariate logistic regression.

TL;DR: A dual-tier approach to the treatment of pediatric pelvic trauma is suggested with an appreciation that there is no substantial evidence base for the surgical treatment of most injuries.

TL;DR: Classifications have been proposed to detect the activity of the cysts and to predict the prognostic behavior and the results observed with different options of treatment have been discussed.

Operative Treatment Versus Steroid Injection in the Management of Unicameral Bone Cysts
TL;DR: The operative treatment of 37 patients with unicameral bone cysts and percutaneous steroid injection in 20 patients whose cysts were similarly predisposed with respect to mode of presentation, location, age, and sex exhibited a high rate of recurrence or persistence.

TL;DR: A review in depth of the recent literature relating to bone cysts and their treatment discloses many important differences in case material, and concern about the frequency of recurrence after surgical treatment by curretage and the insertion of grafts.
