Editorial: Advances in limb-salvage surgery and reconstruction for pediatric bone and soft tissue tumors

Recent technological and multidisciplinary advances have markedly expanded limb-salvage options for pediatric bone and soft tissue tumors, reducing the need for amputation while improving functionality. This editorial reviewed the current special issue about "Advances in Limb-Salvage Surgery and Reconstruction for Pediatric Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors" and focused on the treatment of benign bone tumors.Simple bone cyst (SBC) is a benign bone tumor in children and compromises bone integrity by reducing cortical thickness and causing cortical expansion, thereby increasing the risk of pathological fractures [1,2]. Among the various surgical intervention, percutaneous intramedullary aspiration, irrigation, and injection of absorbable bone (PAIB) is a minimally invasive option for the treatment of SBC. PAIB includes the following steps:
