Core Tip
Core Tip: This retrospective study presents the first outcomes after implementation of sclerotherapy for aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) at our department. Compared to other series, 48% of our cohort consisted of patients with recurrent ABC after previous treatment or failed surgery. Sclerotherapy showed a high potency to achieve healing or stable disease and a low rate of adverse events in both treatment groups. We can recommend it as standard treatment both for primary and recurrent ABC, keeping in mind that randomized multicenter studies would be needed to provide evidence for the superiority of one treatment method.
