Early radiological outcome of cystic benign bone lesion treated with calcium sulphate bone graft: a one-year review
INTRODUCTION Benign primary bone tumours are commonly treated with intralesional curettage with or without surgical adjuvants. Moderate to large size lesions may have significant volume of bony defect following the procedure, if left alone may lead to complications like pathological fracture. T...

| Summary: | INTRODUCTION
Benign primary bone tumours are commonly treated with
intralesional curettage with or without surgical adjuvants.
Moderate to large size lesions may have significant volume of
bony defect following the procedure, if left alone may lead to
complications like pathological fracture. The use of autograft or
allograft are available options but not without limitations and
complications. Polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) does not preserve
bone stock and hardened cement does not share the same
biomechanic properties of bone. Problem may arise in case of
osteolysis, recurrence or when arthroplasty becomes necessary. |
