Abstract
The authors report a case of a 21-year-old woman with osteoid osteoma of the talar neck that was treated with arthroscopic resection. The nidus was removed in one piece with grasping forceps, and histopathologic findings confirmed the preoperative diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. Postoperatively, the patient was immediately relieved of ankle pain and there was no recurrence at the 1-year follow-up. If possible, the nidus should be removed without the use of a motorized instrument to ensure the correct histolologic diagnosis.
