What should be done about bone cysts?

Patient's question:

Is there an orthopedic doctor? My humeral shaft has a black shadow suspected to be a bone cyst. I'm very worried now. What I fear most is that the bone cyst could turn into a deformity, affecting my life. I don't have any other symptoms right now, just occasional leg and back pain. How could I get such a serious illness?

Doctor's answer:

Osteocyst is a benign inflammation of the bone, and additional treatment methods need to be selected based on the size of the cyst. If the bone cyst is too large, it can easily lead to complications such as infection and pathological fractures. It is recommended that you follow up with an orthopedic specialist, as the doctor will address the specific situation. Lower back and leg pain is unrelated to humeral bone cysts. It is advised to undergo an MRI of the lower back to rule out the possibility of a herniated disc.
