Abstract
The results of a single percutaneous aspiration and injection of marro w into active, simple bone cysts are reported in 8 cases. Slow regress ion of the cyst was consistently observed except in one lesion in the distal tibia. All the patients have been free of symptoms after this t reatment after a mean follow up of 31 months. The evolution of the cys ts was monitored by a cyst index, cyst diameter measurements and compu ter assisted densitometric image analysis of serial radiographs.
