The paper is aimed at reporting a retrospective analysis covering the period from 2007 to 2015. The study involved 22 patients with benign osteoclastoma (OC), 14 male and 8 female children aged 9 to 19. All patients had monostotic lesions with the following location of pathological foci: humerus--11 patients, femoral bone--7, shin bone-- 1, fibular bone--1, and ulnar bone--1. All 22 patients underwent surgery. Surgical treatment included resection of tumor focus within intact tissues (in cases of eccentric foci, bony bridge was preserved in the area of minimum damage, which was treated by electrocoagulation together with the cavity) together with bone grafting and intramedullary reinforcement of the affected bone (which provides stable osteosynthesis, early mobilization, and prevention of functional deficits in most patients). Consolidation was achieved in 100% of the operated patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
