Surgical treatment of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the proximal femur in children and adolescents: Observational European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society multicenter study
In cases with low fracture and deformity risk, watchful waiting can be a viable management option for proximal femoral monostotic fibrous dysplasia. When intervention is necessary, internal fixation is advised to prevent fractures and deformity. Curettage with grafting or bone substitute injections should be used with hesitance. Currently, there is no clearly superior treatment for pediatric proximal femoral monostotic fibrous dysplasia, leaving treatment choices to be based on individual characteristics.
