Simple Bone Cyst
CLINICAL SUMMARY
Unicameral bone cysts are most common in children and adolescents and are thought to result from transient failure of the physeal cartilage to ossify. They are typically asymptomatic until a minor injury causes an incomplete or complete fracture. Treatment is directed toward healing the cyst and preventing future fractures.
