The size, location, and symptoms of the cyst determine the course of treatment; approaches range from observation and periodic monitoring to surgical intervention.\n\nCase Report: We report a case treated for a humeral simple bone cyst. A 15-year-old female patient has a history of left humerus titanium elastic nailing system (TENS) nailing for midshaft humerus fracture 9 years ago. Single TENS nail removal was done 8 months post-surgery. The patient has a history of blunt trauma to the operative site 3 months ago, following which the patient developed pain and swelling of the left arm. Curettage of the cyst wall followed by non-vascularised fibula strut grafting and iliac crest bone grafting with posterior humerus plating done. Early postoperative mobilisation was started.\n\nResults: Patients demonstrated significant pain reduction and improved range of motion within 6 weeks postoperatively. Radiographic assessments at 3 months showed near complete integration of the grafts, with signs of new bone formation around the surgical site. The alignment of the humerus was maintained, and there were no instances of hardware failure or recurrence of the cyst noted during follow-up.\n\nConclusion: The above intervention demonstrates an effective approach to restoring structural integrity and promoting healing. This multimodal approach reduces the risk of complications like fractures and recurrence by strengthening the surrounding bone in addition to treating the cyst itself. Continued monitoring and follow-up are essential to assess long-term success and any potential need for further intervention.\n\nKeywords: Simple bone cyst, iliac crest bone grafting, fibular strut graft.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i06.7470","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]],"date-time":"2026-06-11T03:43:42Z","timestamp":1781149422000},"page":"350-355","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Revision Reconstruction of a Humeral Simple Bone Cyst Using Fibular Strut Graft, Iliac   Crest Bone Graft, and Posterior Plating in a Young Adult: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ritesh K","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandeep V","family":"Gavhale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aravind","family":"Chanal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vijay S","family":"Kumawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pranil C","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Swapnil","family":"Choukhande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Grant Government Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]],"date-time":"2026-06-11T03:43:58Z","timestamp":1781149438000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/06\/revision-reconstruction-of-a-humeral-simple-bone-cyst-using-fibular-strut-graft-iliac-crest-bone-graft-and-posterior-plating-in-a-young-adult-a-case-report\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i06.7470","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}}}
