Abstract No. 15 Long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes after doxycycline sclerotherapy of aneurysmal bone cysts in a large single-center cohort

Reply to the Letter to the Editor: Percutaneous Doxycycline Treatment of Aneurysmal Bone Cysts With Low Recurrence Rate: A Preliminary Report

“…Before responding to this letter to the editor [4], it needs to be said that the one of the authors of the paper under discussion [3], Dr. Shiels, passed away in 2015 shortly after publication. We have published additional case series [2, 5] on smaller subsets of patients treated with this technique and have recently presented a 14-year look back [1] of a much larger group of primarily extremity aneurysmal bone cysts. These reports mention how bone-void fillers mixed with doxycycline can be used for the exact same reasons that Dr. Stone describes [4], though we did not focus on it specifically in our analyses.…”
