Aneurysmal bone cysts in the calcaneus can cause significant pain. Surgical curettage and bone grafting effectively treated a young athlete, allowing a return to sports with no recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare, benign, expansile bone lesions.
  • They can cause localized pain and bone destruction, impacting function.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old athlete presented with left heel pain attributed to an aneurysmal bone cyst in the calcaneus.
  • The cyst caused significant discomfort and limited mobility.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention involving curettage of the aneurysmal bone cyst was performed.
  • The resulting bone void was reconstructed using a composite graft of cancellous bone and demineralized bone matrix.
  • Post-operative recovery was favorable, with the patient returning to athletic activities.

Implications:
