title: Treatment of solitary bone cysts with intramedullary nailing.
abstract: The article describes the treatment of solitary bone cysts of the upper and lower limbs by means of elastic intramedullary nailing. In the 11 cases treated, bone rehabilitation was complete, probably due to the defluction of the intracystic fluid by means of the drainage caused by the nails.
