Popis: The solitary bone cyst is not a rare condition, but its treatment has not been standarized yet. We report two cases of solitary bone cyst treated by cannulated cancellous screw. The first case is a eleven-year-old female who complained of right foot pain with no traumatic history. And the second is a ten-year-old male with a pathological fracture of the left femoral neck after exercise. In both cases, bone formation was seen after decompression.This method is easily administerd, less invasive and a bone graft is not necessary, so we recommend this method as a first choice in children.
