Bone cyst in upper arm.

Question

Asked for Male, 12 Years

Following a minor push while playing a 12 yr old suffered a fracture in right arm between shoulder and elbow. X-ray confirms fracture & shows a balloon shaped cyst sized 6.3x2.5x2.6 cm. The bone is invisible in that area and the bone wall appears very thin. As of now our orthopadecian has put a shoulder immobilizer for about six weeks but no specific treatment or medication for the cyst. MRI says this a Unicameral / Aneurysmal cyst. Pls advise if cyst is curable. Surgery or normal medication?

In a fresh case, the fractured cyst needs surgery for bony union and treatment of cyst. First stabilisation with TENS or k-wires. Then curettage, and/or grafting if required. Now after 6weeks, if the bone has healed then there is no need for surgery.

Next Steps

share x-rays if you can.
