title: [Essential bone cysts of the upper end of the femur in children. Our experience with 12 cases].
abstract: The authors have operated on 12 children with solitary unicameral bone cysts of the upper femoral extremity. They opened the cysts widely, resecting one third of the bone circumference, reinforcing the bone solidity by a nail plate and filling the cavity with autogenous bone grafts. 11 cysts healed, 1 recurred. Some residual deformities were noted (coxa valga or vara).
