Decompression and curettage can result are effective as treatments for large jaw cysts, which are common diseases in the clinic. Based on a treatment used in a previous study, this paper proposes a "three-step method" to treat large jaw cyst and repair the bone defect by decompression, curettage, and autologous dental bone powder implantation. This paper introduces the processes and key points of the operation involved in the abovementioned method.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate clinical effect of autogenous iliac bone graft in treating osteochondral lesion of the talus with subchondral cyst. METHODS: Twenty-two osteochondral lesion of talus patients with subchondral cyst were collected from January 2011 to December 2014, including 18 males and 4 females aged from 34 to 58 years old with an average of (46.4± 6.9) years old. All patients manifested pain and swelling of ankle joint, 7 patients manifested partially limited activity of ankle joint, 2 patients manifested unstable of ankle joint, and 2 patients manifested poor force line of foot. All lesions located on the medial side of talus dome. The area of cartilage injury ranged from 64 to 132(101.6±27.1) mm2, and diameter of subchondral cyst ranged from 9 to 15(10.5±1.8) mm. VAS score and AOFAS score were used to evaluate pain releases and recovery of ankle joint function before operation, 12 and 24 months after operation. Healing condition of autograft was assessed under arthroscopy after removal of internal fixation at 1 year after operation. RESULTS: All patients were followed up from 24 to 60 months with an average of(42.5±9.9) months. Postoperative MRI at 12 months showed autograft healed well but little cyst still seen. Bone grafting and talus healed well, and formation of fibrocartilage well under arthroscopy. Postoperative MRI at 24 months showed combination of bone grafting and surrounding bone well, and small cyst could seen but less than before. VAS score at 12 months after operation 2.8±0.8 was less than that of before operation 6.2±1.5, but had no differences compared with 24 months after operation 2.6 ±0.8 (>0.05). AOFAS score at 12 months after operation 83.0±5.6 was less than that of before operation 55.3±13.7, but had no differences compared with 24 months after operation 83.7±6.6(>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Autogenous iliac bone graft in treating osteochondral lesion of the talus with subchondral cyst could have a good synosteosis and fibrous cartilage on surface, and relieve clinical symptoms.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign condition that is locally aggressive and may destructively invade the surrounding soft tissues and bone causing functional loss of the joint and the limb. The knee is the most affected joint (range, 28% to 70%) but involvement of the bone is not a common feature seen at this site. We present a rare case of diffuse PVNS of the knee associated with subchondral cyst of the lateral femoral condyle. This posed a diagnostic dilemma because of bone invasion. The radiological image of synovitis was pathognomonic of PVNS but etiology of the osteolytic lesion was confirmed only on histopathology. The large osteochondral defect was eventually managed in a staged manner with bone grafting and osteochondral autograft transfer.

Chondroblastoma is a rare benign tumor that produces giant cells and cartilage matrix. The tumor occurs in people between 10 and 25 years with slightly higher incidence in males. The condition occurs in the proximal epiphysis of the tibia and humerus, distal epiphysis of the femur, but its occurrence in the talus is relatively rare, accounting for 4% of the total number of chondroblastoma cases. Chondroblastoma is often misdiagnosed as a primary aneurysmal bone cyst, giant cell tumor, chondromyxoid, and lesion of a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst by fibrous dysplasia. The most commonly used surgical method for chondroblastoma is broad curettage with bone grafting. In general, an aneurysmal bone cyst is associated with a second degree chondroblastoma, which is approximately 20%. Chondroblastoma of the talus and secondary aneurysmal bone cysts can be misdiagnosed as primary aneurysmal bone cysts. This paper reports a case of a young male patient with chondroblastoma of the talus, which was initially misdiagnosed as an aneurysmal bone cyst with involvement of the talo-navicular joint.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of autologous bone marrow blood injection combined with elastic intramedullary needle implantation in the treatment of long bone cyst in children. METHODS: From January 2010 to December 2015, 29 children with long bone cyst were treated with autologous bone marrow blood injection combined with elastic intramedullary nail implantation, including 22 males and 7 females, aged 2 to 12 years old with an average age of 7.7 years old, and the course of disease was 12 to 84 months. Among them, 17 cases were proximal humerus, 9 cases were proximal femur, 2 cases were distal femur and 1 case was proximal ulna. All children with bone cyst underwent preoperative X-ray examination and CT or MRI examination if necessary. After definite diagnosis, bone marrow blood injection combined with elastic intramedullary needle support and drainage were used as treatment methods. After operation, multiple X-ray examination and follow-up were carried out. The curative effect was evaluated with Capanna bone cyst treatment evaluation criteria. RESULTS: Twenty-seven of 29 children were followed up for 12 to 60 months with an average of 31.8 months. According to the evaluation criteria of Capanna bone cyst, 26 cases were cured and 1 case was partially healed with residual lesions. CONCLUSIONS Autologous bone marrow blood injection combined with elastic intramedullary needle has the characteristics of definite curative effect, high cure rate, fewer complications and objectively controllable treatment process for simple long bone cyst in children.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of autogenous bone marrow injection and elastic intramedullary injection in the treatment of bone cyst in children. METHODS: From January 2012 to December 2016, 56 children with simple bone cyst were divided into two groups: autogenous bone marrow blood injection group and elastic intramedullary needle group. There were 28 cases in the autogenous bone marrow blood injection group, 16 boys and 12 girls, aged (7.7±1.9) years old, 10 cases of proximal humerus, 8 cases of proximal femur, 6 cases of proximal tibia and 4 cases of femoral shaft. In the elastic intramedullary needle group, there were 28 cases, 18 boys and 10 girls, aged(7.5±2.2) years old, 11 cases of proximal humerus, 7 cases of proximal femur, 5 cases of proximal tibia, 4 cases of femoral shaft and 1 case of distal femur. The treatment effect was evaluated by Capanna standard. RESULTS: All the patients were followed up, including 17 to 35(25.6±4.2) months in the elastic intramedullary needle group and 19 to 35(27.4±4.8) months in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. According to Capanna's evaluation standard of bone cyst, 27 patients in the elastic intramedullary needle group were treated effectively(25 patients cured, 2 patients healed but some remained lesions), 1 patients recurred, 0 patient had no response to treatment; 18 patients in the autogenous bone marrow blood injection group were treated effectively(13 patients cured, 5 patients healed but some remained lesions), 8 patients of cyst recurred, 2 patients had no response to treatment; the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(<0.01). The overall cure time was calculated by the follow-up of 25 cases in the elastic intramedullary injection group and 13 cases in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. The cure time was(20.2±3.5) months in the elastic intramedullary injection group and(27.7±4.9) months in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. The difference was statistically significant(<0.05). CONCLUSIONS For the treatment of bone cyst in children, the therapeutic effect of elastic intramedullary needle is better than that of autogenous bone marrow blood injection, and the cure time is shorter.
