Solitary Unicameral Bone Cyst of the Calcaneus

A REVIEW OF TWENTY CASES

RONALD W. SMITH M.D.1 and CHADWICK F. SMITH M.D.1

1 From Orthopaedic Hospital, Los Angeles, and the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Harbor General Hospital, Torrance

Twenty cases of calcaneal solitary bone cyst were evaluated. The typical lesion had a pathognomonic roentgenographic appearance. Eleven patients were treated by curetting and bone-grafting, and there were no recurrences. The cysts in patients followed non-operatively usually did not heal, but were asymptomatic and did not enlarge. A recommendation for non-operative management is made for most cases because the cysts are frequently painless and not likely to fracture.
