Abstract:: INTRODUCTION: Problems associated with common treatment modalities of bone cysts located in the proximal femur include a high blood loss, infection, lack of stability, donor-site morbidity, restriction to normal activity, and high recurrence rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients with a simple bone cyst of the proximal femur were treated with retrograde flexible nailing. Six showed a pathological fracture. Mean age at surgery was 10.4 years, mean follow-up was 57 months. Radiographs were classified as healed, healed with residuals, recurred, or no response. RESULTS: The mean healing period was 38.8 months. Two cysts healed completely, nine healed with residuals. There was no recurrence or non-responder. In a fractured cyst a perforation of a nail through the cyst occurred 4 months after nailing. CONCLUSION: The method is less invasive and offers early stability to the bone without the need for cast immobilization.
