Simple Bone Cysts in Kids

Recruiting now · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Bone Cyst

In brief

Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are cysts filled with fluid that occur most frequently in the long bones (arms or legs) of children. There are many ways to treat SBCs but it is unclear if one is better than another. The purpose of this research trial is to compare the effectiveness of two common treatments that are used by surgeons today.
