- Abstract
The standard treatment for aneurysmal bone cyst is bone curettage and grafting which was associated with high morbidity. Hence sclerotherapy came as alternative therapy, which minimally invasive hence came to popularity. This study aims to find out the radiological outcome of aneurysmal bone cyst with sclerotherapy with polidocanol. Methods: 31 patients who were diagnosed with aneurysmal bone cyst underwent sclerotherapy with polidocanol with follow-up for 2 years. We assessed time to healing and recurrence, pain relief, and radiological outcome using modified Neer's criteria for the radiological healing of the bone cysts. Result: At last follow-up, 100% had achieved complete healing. Complications were injection site necrosis, pain and hypopigmentation, all of which resolved spontaneously. Conclusions: Sclerotherapy by using polidocanol is a safe treatment option which was effective, less cost expense, good cosmetics, reduced morbidity, can do as day care procedure. Local complications due to extravasation which will reduce spontaneously.
