The cause of bone cysts is largely unknown, although they may occur after trauma, for example a bad fall, and may affect people who have osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Bone cysts can also occur in people with chronic gout. Gout can run in families and is caused by too much of a chemical called urate in the body.
