Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), a locally benign aggressive lytic lesion of either primary or secondary origin, seldom involves the talus. Herein, we present a 25-year-old man with recurrent ABC of the talus after curettage and bone grafting, which was managed by total resection followed by filling the defect using fibular graft and finally tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis due to articular surface involvement. At 18 mo postoperatively, no recurrence was detected. Arthrodesis might be a good option in cases with recurrent ABC of the talus especially with articular surface involvement.
Core tip: Despite rarity of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the talus, we present a case of recurrent ABC of the talus following curettage and bone graft. The tibiotalar and subtalar joints of the patient were fused after complete resection of the tumor.
