Treatment Of Bone Cyst With Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Cell Transplantation

Summary

There are two types of bone cysts, unicameral and aneurismal. These cysts happen to anyone, but they are most commonly seen in children and young adults while their bones are still growing. Living with a bone cyst and determining treatment options depend on the type of cyst. Non-surgical treatments for unicameral bone cysts involves repeated X-rays in individuals who do not experience any symptoms. Surgical removal of a unicameral bone cyst is needed if it becomes especially painful, or the area of the bone starts to thin out. The investigators aim to assess the clinical efficacy and side effects of mesenchymal stem cells seeded on bone matrix in repairing bone cyst.
