|
Purpose:The purpose of this study is to report the result of endoscopic assisted curettage and bone graft for the treatment of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus.
Materials and Methods: There cases on three patients who had curettage and bone graft of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus under endoscopic view were prospectively reviewed. A minimum follow-up of 1 year was required for entrance into the study. The results of treatment were clinically and radiologically assessed.
Results:One case with preoperative heel pain gained complete relief on the pain at postoperative four weeks. All three cases had radiological union of grafted bone at an average of thirteen weeks after the operation. Shortened hospitalization and decreased postoperative pain were remarkable. Complications such as infection, skin necrosis, nerve injury, and, fracture were not seen. There was no evidence of the recurrence of the cyst in all three cases.
Conclusion:Endoscopic assisted curettage and bone graft of simple bone cyst in the calcaneus is thought as an effective alternative procedure avoiding possible complications of the classic method.
