Minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for unicameral bone cysts: technique and outcomes in a series of 33 pediatric and adolescent patients
Endoscopic minimally invasive surgery combining curettage, sclerotherapy, and injectable bone grafting appears to be a safe and effective option for the management of UBCs in children and adolescents, achieving high healing rates and low complication risks. Nevertheless, given the single-arm design and limited sample size, larger controlled studies with long-term follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.
