title: Post-traumatic osteochondroma of the calcaneus.
abstract: Osteochondroma is the most common bone and cartilage tumor. It is usually congenital but may be related to trauma. A case of osteochondroma affecting the calcaneus, an unusual location for this lesion, is presented. Surgical excision appears to be as effective a cure in this location as in others.
