Core Tip
Core Tip: The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors of pathological fracture in children with benign bone lesions and to propose a modified scoring system for quantitative analysis of the pathologic fracture risks. As a fracture predictive tool, the modified scoring system can be used to evaluate before treatment and provide reference for surgical decision-making.
