title: Simple bone cysts: true recurrence after complete obliteration.
abstract: A report of recurrent simple bone cysts in two cases--a seven-year-old and a six-year-old male--is presented. In each case curettage and cortical banked bone graft were performed. On follow-up, there was no clinical or radiographic evidence of further recurrence.
