Abstract
Solitary calcaneal bone cysts are uncommon. Usually they measure 1/3 to 1/2 of the calcaneal length. Symptomatic calcaneal bone cysts are generally treated with open debridement and autologous bone grafting. We report a case of a patient with a displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture who presents with a large benign calcaneal bone cyst. This patient was treated with debridement and filling of defect with injectable calcium-phosphate bone cement (Norian) and open reduction and internal fixation of the calcaneal fracture.
