Bone cyst (synonymous bone cyst) - a disease characterized by the formation of cavity in bone tissue. It is based on a violation of blood movement inside the bone, resulting in activation of substances, this bone of destructive. As the cavity grows it is filled with liquid.

Treatment of bone cyst and their complications
Treatment of bone cysts in most cases conservative, t.E. surgical. It is carried out by orthoped or children's surgeon.

When localizing cysts in the bones of shoulder, hips or legs after establishing a diagnosis of fracture for 6 weeks. Apply gypsum bandage. In the absence of a fracture, the unloading is prescribed - for the shoulder with a shock dressing, and for the legs - with the help of crutches.
In order to accelerate the process of ripening of bone cysts in the conditions of polyclinics, the course of therapeutic punctures - punctures of cysts is carried out under local anesthesia. Two needles for anesthesia are introduced into the cavity of the cyst. Then suck the liquid and send it for various analyzes. The cavity of the cyst is washed, remove one of the needles, and a special substance is introduced through the remaining cavity, which reduces the destruction of bones. Then in order to reduce the pressure in the cyst and reduce the pain, several holes make in the cyst.
The procedure is repeated 3 times with an interval of 3 weeks. Check X-ray spend 3 months after the last puncture. Immobilization of the affected limb is necessary for the whole course of treatment. At the age of 12 years old, with a large slowly developing cyst, hormones can be introduced into its cavity.
