View allMy 12-year-old got a fracture in their right arm between the shoulder and elbow after a minor push during play. The X-ray showed a balloon-shaped cyst measuring 6.3x2.5x2.6 cm, and the bone isn't even visible in that area the bone wall looks really thin. The orthopedist put on a shoulder immobilizer for six weeks but didn't suggest any specific treatment or meds for the cyst. The MRI says it's a unicameral aneurysmal bone cyst. Is this cyst curable? Would they need surgery or can it be treated with medication?
In a fresh case, the fractured cyst needs surgery for bony union and treatment of cyst. First stabilisation with TENS or k-wires. Then curettage, and/or grafting if required. Now after 6weeks, if the bone has healed then there is no need for surgery. Next Steps share x-rays if you can. Health Tips Prevent trauma on pathological side as the cyst light fracture again.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her MRI results showed a diffuse disk bulge in L4 L5 and L5 S1, and there's also ligamentum flavum hypertrophy on the left side of L4 L5. They mentioned something about minimal to mild scoliosis in her lumbar spine and reduced heights. Could you help me understand what all of this means? Should I be really concerned about this? What kind of treatments or lifestyle changes might she need to consider?

I fell off my bike and fractured my left collarbone just got the X-ray report. Could you help me understand what treatment options I have? Is surgery necessary, or can it heal without it? Also, how long does recovery usually take for this kind of injury?
Clavicle fracture can heal non-surgically with a brace if not displaced; surgery is needed for severe displacement—recovery takes 6–12 weeks depending on method.
