Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cyst is a relatively uncommon bone tumor. Six children treated between February 1985 and May 1987 with an operative approach involving insertion of several Kirschner pins across the tumor area are reviewed. Postoperatively, pain relief and varied healing of the lesion was noted radiologically. We conclude that it is worthwhile to consider insertion of Kirschner pins as a first step in treatment.
