Abstract

A case of simple bone cyst of talus is reported because of its rare occurrence in an adult. The patient presented to us with antalgic gait and long standing intermittent severe pain in right ankle region. According to clinical, radiological and histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as a case of simple bone cyst. Out of available modes of treatment curettage and compression bone grafting with allograft was preferred considering the size and location of cyst in talus. Three year follow up showed complete consolidation of bone graft and pain free ambulation.
