Unicameral bone cyst with pathological fracture
Updates to Case Attributes
A decent starter film for a fellowship exam. A lucent bone lesion.
The examiner can use this film to:
1. Assess assess the candidatescandidate's ability to describe a focal bone lesion.
2. Assess assess knowledge depth through enquiry into a differential.
3. Enquire enquire further into additional imaging which may help (Eg (e.g. MRI to see fluid-fluid levels to distinguish between a unicameral bone cyst and anuerysmalaneurysmal bone cyst).
4. Assess assess if the candidate gives a common sense most/most likely diagnosis and management plan.
The reality is on plain film alone it is difficult to be definitive, especially between the chief two differentials of UBC and ABC.
