Elastic stable intramedullary nailing alone for unicameral bone cysts of the humerus in children: a mid-term follow-up study

Key Points

Complete healing rate observed was 13.64%, indicating limited effectiveness of elastically stable intramedullary nailing.
The overall effective rate for treating humeral unicameral bone cysts was 50%, highlighting variable treatment outcomes.
This observational analysis focuses on mid-term results using the Capanna classification for managing bone cysts.
Results support the need for improved strategies to treat unicameral bone cysts effectively in pediatric patients.

Abstract

In our study, the use of ESIN insertion alone to treat humeral UBC, on the basis of the Capanna classification, resulted in a complete healing rate of 13.64% and an overall effective rate of 50%.
