Abstract
The invention as described herein provides methods for treating a bone of a patient, including locating a treatment volume in a bone of the patient, administering a sclerosing agent to the treatment volume, and, after administering the sclerosing agent, administering bone graft material to the treatment volume. In some embodiments, the sclerosing agent and the bone graft are administered in a minimally invasive manner using a delivery device. The placement of the delivery device and/or the administration of the sclerosing agent and/or bone graft can use imaging to guide the placement and/or administration. The patient can be a pediatric patient and the treatment volume can comprise a bone lesion, a unicameral bone cyst or an aneurysmal bone cyst.

- after administering the liquid comprising the sclerosing agent, administering bone graft material to the treatment volume using a minimally invasive surgical technique;
- wherein a portion of the liquid composition exits the treatment volume through the venting device upon administering the bone graft material or a further liquid composition to the treatment volume.
A kit for treatment of a bone of a patient, comprising:
- synthetic bone graft material;
- a venting device adapted for exit of a portion of a fluid comprising a sclerosing agent from a treatment volume of a bone of the patient upon administering one or both of a second portion of the fluid and the bone graft material to the treatment volume;
