Osteoid osteoma of the neck of the talus.
The authors present three cases of osteoid osteoma of the neck of the talus presenting with pain and restriction of ankle movement affecting athletic performance in young adults. If this condition is suspected in a patient, a bone scan will confirm the diagnosis. The result of treatment is positive in terms of relief of pain and return to activities in our patients.
