Deskripsi

Unicameral bone cysts are benign, fluid-filled lesions that occur mostly in long bones (proximal humerus, 50–60%; femur, 30%) of male children aged 5 to 15 years. Occurrence in the scaphoid of an adult is rare. We report 2 such patients who presented with wrist pain, with and without a history of trauma. Both underwent curettage and bone grafting (harvested from the distal radius) and achieved good functional recovery.
