5-Minute Summary: Trapdoor technique with adjuvant dehydrated alcohol and cryoablation for monostotic fibrous dysplasia

Monostotic fibrous dysplasia (MFD) involving the upper extremity is typically amenable to conservative treatment. However, surgery may be indicated in the presence of fragility fractures. While curettage with bone grafting is often used, graft resorption and local recurrence are common. This article describes 3 consecutive patients with MFD who underwent curettage with autograft cancellous bone chips, using a trapdoor technique with adjuvant dehydrated alcohol and cryoablation.
