Anteroposterior (a) and lateral (b) plain radiographs of the right lower leg following six months of denosumab therapy, demonstrating significant interval change in the texture of the cyst, with evidence of new bone formation. Calcification of growth plates was noted which led to the decision to begin increasing the dose interval.
