Introduction

An aneurysmatic bone cyst (ABC) is a benign cystic lesion of bone composed of blood-filled spaces separated by connective septa.

The most common treatment is curettage with or without bone grafting. Curettage with bone grafting and Ethibloc injection therapy have a comparable recurrence rate. Ethibloc is a radiopaque alcohol solution of corn protein which is percutaneously injected in the ABC.

Objective

To compare percutaneous Ethibloc injection (ETHI) with curettage with bone grafting (CUBG) in the treatment of ABC.
