【 摘 要 】

References(37)A 4-year-old Shih-Tzu,referred for an enlarged left carpus, was diagnosed with a unicameral bone cyst. Acustomized titanium device was inserted into cystic lesion and fixed by titanium screws.Sufficient strength of the affected bone with the device inserted to maintain limbfunction was established after resection of contents of cystic lesion. There was nodeterioration of the lesion of bone cyst, and acceptable function of the affected limbwith no clinical signs of lameness was maintained during 36 months follow-up. The resultsof this study demonstrated that bone cyst curettage and use of a customized titaniumdevice could provide an effective alternative treatment of huge lesion of unicameral bonecysts with the intent of preventing pathologic fractures.
