Treatment of a Huge Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Talus through a Segmental Bone Graft of the Tricortical Bone: A Case Report

Abstract

an important part to play in weight-bearing. Therefore, an appropriate bone graft is required for large bone defects that occur after an ABC removal from the talus. We report a primary ABC of the talus in a 28-year-old male that was treated by curettage and a bone pillar pattern graft of autologous tricortical iliac crest bone. The patient had an excellent functional outcome with early weight-bearing, and there was no recur-rence at 16 months of follow-up.
