fractures through bone cysts
(about aneurysmal bone cysts)
Etiology unknown. Some primary, others secondary
with UBCs, NOF, fibrous dysplasia, OGS, et al.
Also been seen in a/w fractures of long bones.
Symptoms -pain of < 6 mos duration, stiffness with
juxta-articular.
Other abbreviations, AFAIK, are:
UBC = unicameral bone cyst
NOF = non-ossifying fibroma
OGS = osteogenic sarcoma
can't figure out what are thes "a/w fractures".
Searching didn't help much yet. This page also uses "a/w" and is about fractures, but never explains what is "a/w":

The English should read "Also seen in association with fractures of long bones."
