Aneurysmal bone cyst of the proximal phalanx.
A case of aneurysmal bone cyst of the proximal phalanx in a young boy with unfused epiphysial plates is reported. Curettage failed, so diaphysectomy and cortical bone grafting were performed, sparing the epiphysial plate. This resulted in normal length and function, and the graft remodelled completely to a normal appearance of tubular bone.
