Abstract
The Authors report the early results of endoscopic curettage with bone grafting to treat aneurysmal bone cysts. Four patients with aneurysmal bone cysts (one located in the femur and three in the humerus) received curettage with homologous bank bone grafting by endoscopy. In one case we used homologous bank bone in chips with osteoconductive properties and in three cases we used homologous bank bone in paste with osteo-inductive properties. The follow-up showed complete improvement in pain, new bone formation and remodelling at 2 years. Even if we do not yet have final results about recurrence, these early data encourage us to continue this study so that a longer follow-up will confirm the benefits of this procedure.
