Diagnosed bone cyst is not a sentence: the treatment exists

Bone diseases are in most cases presented as benign tumors.

Only in some rather rare cases, often caused by neglect of the disease, the safe development of the disease can be transformed into a malignant character and structure of the lesion.

In addition to "normal" outgrowths and inflammations of the bones, a cyst is also diagnosed in a person - a cavity of bone tissue provoked by numerous causes.

Concept and statistics

The bone cyst is a disease with characteristic cavity formationhuman bones. Such manifestations in the initial stages do not entail serious problems. The maximum that a person experiences is a small pain during movement or physical activity.

The reason for the formation of the described voids is the violation of intraosseous circulation, localized in one bone.

Due to causes, destructive changes occur in collagens and proteins, which leads to the appearance of a bone cyst, which in medicine is usually referred to as tumor-like diseases.

According to statistical data, bone cysts occur in children aged 10 to 15 years old t. As for the defeat of adult bones, such cases are rarely recorded. The majority of patients are people aged 20 to 30 years.

Causes, factors and at-risk groups

The causes of intra-ocular circulation have not been identified yet.

Specialists only suggest that the formation of the cavity is affected by a lack of nutrients and oxygen.

Due to the lack of useful components in the bone tissue, activation of lysosomal enzymes leading to themselves aggressively occurs, which causes fluid accumulation.

These same enzymes further influence the growth of the cavity. But to explain the factors that provoked all the above points, specialists can not exactly.

There is also a suggestion that the damage to the circulation is affected by injuries - bruises, fractures.

Some experts even find similar explanations and proofs. As a result, it turns out that children and young people who are injured are at risk.

The risk group for children can be based on banal malnutrition, as the lack of trace elements and other useful substances leads to disruption of the whole organism's activity( in which disease the deficiency manifests itself is unknown).

Types of pathology

The following varieties are distinguished.

Depending on the location of the cyst, it happens in:

• of the humerus;
  

  The solitary cyst of the shoulder of the

• of the thigh;
• of the tibia;
• heel cysts.

Depending on the substance to be filled, the bone cyst can be:

• solitary - filled with fluid, occurs in children( ratio of cases in boys to girls - 3: 1), affects large tubular bones;
• aneurysmatic - filled with blood, mostly girls and girls aged 10 to 20 years, most susceptible to the formation of cysts of the spine.

Depending on the location and type of doctors appointed appropriate treatment.

Symptomatology of pathology

Strangely enough, but the bony cyst for a long time may not show signs of existence. This is due to the slow course of the disease.

Sometimes, up to the first pain sensations, several years of activation of lysosomal enzymes may take place.

The first signs of an existing cyst become severe bouts of pain, aggravated by movement or physical exertion. At rest, the patient may not feel any discomfort.

Further the person feels such signs, as:

• puffiness and soreness of soft tissues over the amazed site of a bone that is revealed at a palpation;
• in the development process, you can observe the violation of the functions of nearby joints;
• , palpation during growth of cysts, an increase in the affected area of ​​the bone is observed;
• if the bone is close to the skin, you can observe the deformity of the cyst during palpation;
• in especially advanced cases, signs of damage to the spinal nerves are revealed.

Complex of diagnostic techniques

When a doctor visits a patient, a series of examinations will take place, which together will help determine the nature of further treatment.

The following diagnostic methods are used here:

1. Radiography - allows to determine the modifications in human bones, as well as to determine the size of the cysts and their localization.
2. Computer tomography and MRI - provide an opportunity to determine the degree of lesion and the depth of damaged bone tissue.
3. Puncture - the contents of the cyst are sampled in order to study it in the laboratory and determine the nature of the lesion.

Based on the results of the diagnosis, specialists prescribe treatment.

Therapy

Bone cyst is treated with several methods that directly depend on the nature and course of the incidence.

The age of the patient is also of greater importance. Of course, the treatment of a child is reduced to a conservative method of eliminating the neoplasm.

Only in rare cases do they resort to surgery.

The conservative method of treatment entails the following actions:

1. If there is a fracture, the patient is overlaid with the tire and plaster of the .Favorable situations require reducing the burden on the affected bone.
2. Then the course of treatment punctures is performed. The surgeon introduces into the cyst two large needles: one is designed to take the contents of the tumor, and with the help of a second needle, the medicine is injected. Such punctures are done until complete recovery every three weeks. The drug administered to the cyst depends on the age of the patient.
3. In the case of closure of the patient's cavity, the begins a course of various physiotherapy and resorts to therapeutic gymnastics .

Such treatment can last about a year. If the conservative method of eliminating the cyst was not approached, and for several months no improvement was noticed, the specialists decided to perform an operation to remove the affected bone, which was subsequently replaced by a suitable implant.

Complications and prognosis

Complications of untimely referral to a doctor with complaints of pain are reduced to a significant increase in cysts.

The postoperative period may have complications due to the lack of professionalism of the physician who performed the surgery - the incomplete resection of the affected area.

According to forecasts, children recover faster after treatment of the bone cyst and account for about 90% of all recorded diseases. They rarely have relapses, rather than adults - their prognosis is only 60-70% of all cases.

Preventive measures

It is not necessary to talk about prevention, since the specialists have not yet revealed the reasons for the appearance of the presented.

Doctors advise young parents to closely monitor the growth of their baby's spine. Protect him from injury, as they can provoke the formation of an aneurysmal cyst, and she is hard to treat.

Attention to yourself and your children can save you from many problems and serious diseases with bones. Feed the child healthy food, adhere to a balanced diet, take vitamins regularly and undergo an annual examination for the timely detection of pathology.
