Effectiveness of curettage and bone grafting with and without elastic intramedullary nailing in the treatment of simple bone cyst in children: a meta-analysis
Curettage and bone grafting with elastic intramedullary nailing is superior to curettage and bone grafting alone for treating simple bone cysts, with lower postoperative refracture incidence. Although the latter may require only one surgery theoretically, refracture or recurrence could necessitate 2-3 additional surgeries.
