Abstract
Between 1966 and 1991, at the Department of Orthopaedics 34 patients w ith a mean age of 15.7 years (range 7-46 years) underwent surgery beca use of aneurysmatic bone cysts. Mean follow-up was 11 years (range 1-2 6.3 years). We observed a total rate of recurrence of 11.8%. In a grou p of 9 patients who received local phenol therapy after curettage and bone transplantation no recurrence was observed. The different surgica l and conservative methods of treatment are discussed also with respec t to rates of recurrence stated in the literature.
