Cyst-like cortical defects appearing after minor greenstick fractures in children have occasionally been described. These lesions are asymptomatic and appear just proximal to the fracture line within the area of subperiostal new bone formation. Although the pathogenesis of these lesions remains conjectural, complete resolution occurs, without adverse effect on fracture healing. Only a few cases of these posttraumatic cysts have been previously reported, mainly in radiological literature. We present a case of cyst formation after a greenstick fracture of the distal radius. We discuss the evolution of these post fracture cysts and review the current theories on their pathogenesis.

Post-traumatic cortical cystic lesions are rare radiolucent lesions that appear as a complication of low-severity fractures in children. Their relevance lies in the fact that few cases of these lesions have been described to date, so they are little known among clinicians caring for children. Three case reports of well-circumscribed cortical lytic lesions detected at 2-4 months during the follow-up of non-displaced distal radius fractures in children aged 9, 7, and 2 years are presented.

Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain is mainly caused by the extraction of third molars or the placement of dental implants. This report describes the treatment of neuropathic pain arising after guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The patient was a 55-year-old woman who had to undergo GTR due to severe periodontitis in the distal aspect of the right mandibular second molar.

Posttraumatic cyst-like lesions are a rare finding after greenstick fractures in children. These asymptomatic, cystic lesions become radiologically apparent 2-4 months after the initial trauma. Conventional radiographs typically show nonexpansile, well-circumscribed lesions in the cortex, proximal to the fracture site.

Post-traumatic cyst-like lesions are an infrequent complication of fractures in children. To our knowledge, no more than 30 cases have been reported in the English-language literature. They most commonly affect the distal radius following a greenstick or torus fracture.
