Modified Neer classification of radiologic results

Score	Classification	Description	Treatment
I	Healed	Cyst filled with new bone, with or without small radiolucent area(s) < 1 cm in size	Not necessary
II	Healed with defects	Radiolucent area(s) < 50 % of the diameter of the bone with enough cortical thickness to prevent fracture	Not necessary
III	Persistent cyst	Radiolucent area > 50 % of the diameter of the bone and with a thin cortical rim; no increase of the size of the cyst	Continued restriction of activity, possible repeated treatment required
IV	Recurrent or nonresponsive cyst	Cyst reappeared in a previously obliterated area or a radiolucent area has increased in size	Need for repeated treatment
