Lower Limb Reconstruction with Tibia Allograft after Resection of Giant Aneurysmal Bone Cyst

Lower Limb Reconstruction with Tibia Allograft after Resection of Giant Aneurysmal Bone Cyst

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, expansible, nonneoplastic lesions of the bone, characterized by channels of blood and spaces separated by fibrous septa, which occur in young patients and, occasionally, with aggressive behavior. Giant ABC is an uncommon pathological lesion and can be challen...
