Abstract

A 42-year-old man presented with synovial osteochondromatosis (SO) of the retrocalcaneal bursa with intraosseous lesions in the calcaneum, leading to significant pain and consequent disability. Simple x-rays, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed preoperatively. The patient has remained asymptomatic, clinically and radiographically, without recurrent lesions for 18 months postoperatively.
