- Primary aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are non-cancerous bone growths often treated with aggressive curettage, but some have shown signs of healing after less invasive procedures like biopsy.
- Researchers introduced a new technique called "curopsy," which combines limited curettage and biopsy in order to promote healing while minimizing further intervention.
- The study analyzed the effectiveness, recurrence rates, and complications of curopsy compared to standard aggressive treatments over a span of over a decade, involving 190 patients with ABCs.
