AI Article Synopsis
- - Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare, blood-filled bone lesion that usually occurs in young people, often in locations like the femur and tibia, and is more common in females.
- - The distal ulna is an unusual site for ABC, and there's limited literature on such cases.
- - A case of a young male with ABC in the distal ulna was successfully treated using extended curettage and bone grafting, along with K-wire stabilization for support.
Article Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a cystic benign expansile lytic bone lesion, resembling multiple intraosseous blood-filled spaces. It is most commonly seen in the first two decades of life. Most frequent sites of involvement are metaphysis of proximal and distal femur, proximal tibia, and posterior elements of spine. It is seen more frequently in females. ABC of distal ulna is rarely reported in the literature. We are reporting a case of ABC of a rare location-distal ulna-in a young male, which was successfully treated with extended curettage, and the cavity was filled with bone graft, with K-wire stabilization.
