Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the talus is an extremely rare lesion. Less than 20 cases have been reported in PubMed till 2012 and none from Nepal. We report a rare case of primary ABC of talus in a 17 year old male that was managed by extended intra-lesional curettage and autologous cancellous iliac crest bone grafting. The patient had excellent functional outcome and there was no recurrence at 1 year of follow-up.
