Patients and methods: In this prospective, 20 patients with benign osteolytic lesions underwent endoscopic assisted curettage and space filling either by cement or bone graft the functional outcome is assessed using musculoskeletal tumor society score and follow up continued for 2 years to assess precedence of complications and recurrence Results: The functional outcome of the studied patients according to musculoskeletal tumor society score ranged from 18-30 with mean of 27.10 ± 3.28(SD), while pre-operative mean score 18.3 ± 1.64 (SD), 17 patients score (85%) were excellent (≤ 26), 1 patient (5%) was good (22) and 2 patients (10%) were poor (
