Although most unicameral bone cysts (UBCs) are either successfully treated or have healed by the time of skeletal maturity, a small proportion of patients will have persistent UBCs beyond the age of skeletal maturity. More reliable methods are needed to treat persistent UBCs in the humerus because these cysts are associated with a high risk of fracture due to thinning of the humeral cortex. In this study, we evaluated whether inserting a fibular strut allograft into the humerus would be associated with healing of the cyst and union of associated pathologic fractures in skeletally mature patients with a UBC of the proximal humerus.

腓骨同种异体移植支柱对骨骼成熟患者的肱骨近端单房骨囊肿有用吗？

尽管大多数单房骨囊肿 (UBC) 在骨骼成熟时都得到成功治疗或愈合，但一小部分患者在骨骼成熟年龄之后仍会出现持续性 UBC。需要更可靠的方法来治疗肱骨中的持续性 UBC，因为这些囊肿由于肱骨皮质变薄而与骨折的高风险相关。在这项研究中，我们评估了在肱骨近端 UBC 的骨骼成熟患者中，将腓骨支柱同种异体移植物插入肱骨中是否与囊肿的愈合和相关病理性骨折的愈合有关。
