Neer et al. report a critical analysis of 250 unicameral bone cysts, examining how anatomic location, patient age, surgical technique, and graft choice affect recurrence. The study questions the validity of prior recurrence statistics and evaluates whether proximity to the growth plate reliably predicts surgical outcome.
While specific treatment recommendations require consultation of the full paper, this review provides essential background for understanding unicameral bone cyst management principles that continue to influence current practice.
