Injectable Form of Calcium Sulphate as Treatment of Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

Abstract

This new technique has shown good early clinical and radiological responses and a low complication rate in a consecutive group of patients with ABC.

Management of cystic bony lesions at a tertiary health centre in North-West Nigeria

“…Treatment of Injection of synthetic biocompatible resorbable material has been found useful in the management of simple bone cyst and in ABC, injectable forms of calcium sulphate has been used [12,13]. The advantage of intralesional curettage is that it preserves the joint when compared to en bloc resection.…”

Percutaneous Sclerotherapy With Absolute Alcohol to Treat Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Frontal Bone

“…Some sclerosing agents have been reported to be widely used and obtain good effects, such as Ethibolc (an alcoholic solution of zein; Ethnor Laboratories, Norderstedt, Germany), calcium sulfate, polidocanol, N-2-butyl-cyanoacrylate, and so on. [8][9][10][11][12][13] applied an injectable form of calcium sulfate to suffuse the ABC's cavity after aspiration of the fluid components. As an invasive technique, it can solidify the bone very quickly in order to avoid the reaccumulation of hematoma and has gained good results.…”

Primary aneurysmal bone cysts in children: percutaneous sclerotherapy with absolute alcohol and proposal of a vascular classification

“…Recently, aspiration and complete filling of the ABC cavity with an injectable form of calcium sulphate has shown good results. This more invasive technique using two 5-mm cannulae allows bone to solidify more rapidly which prevents reaccumulation of haematoma/seroma [16].…”
