Combined curettage, fibular and iliac bone grafting, and dynamic hip screw fixation for a femoral neck simple bone cyst in a child with excellent functional outcome: a case report
This case underscores the value of a tailored, multi-component surgical technique in managing simple bone cyst-associated pathological fractures in pediatric weight-bearing bones. The approach resulted in excellent structural stability and functional recovery, with the patient regaining independent, unrestricted ambulation by 10 weeks postoperatively and no complications observed.
