title: Aneurysmal bone cysts occurring in the metacarpals: a report of three cases.
abstract: In three patients an aneurysmal bone cyst occurring in a metacarpal was treated by excising the involved bone and substituting bone grafts. There was no evidence of recurrence in 1, 3, and 8 years of follow-up. In two patients with open epiphyses, growth of the metacarpal was not impaired.
