Benign bone tumors subperiosteal on the talar neck resected anthroscopically: case reports

Abstract

ABSTRACT Two cases of benign chondral tumors of the talar neck region (an osteoid osteoma and a chondroblastoma) were described. Because of their specific, unusual site they could be resected by arthroscopy. The imaging aspects, incidence in foot bones and possibilities of treatment were discussed, and a literature review is presented.
