title: Treatment of a simple bone cyst of the calcaneus by endoscopic curettage with cancellous bone injection.
abstract: The authors report a case of simple bone cyst involving the calcaneus, treated by curettage under endoscopy with cancellous bone injection, and its course and follow-up at two years. This new technique has not yet been published for simple bone cysts of the calcaneus. Endoscopic curettage of the cavity of a simple bone cyst can be advocated for the calcaneus to minimize incisions and to avoid cutaneous complications.
