title: Arthroscopic removal of the osteoid osteoma on the neck of the talus.
abstract: Juxta-articular osteoid osteomas arising around the ankle are unusual. Tumors arising on the neck of the talus will commonly produce symptoms mimicking monoarticular arthritis or trauma. Patients are usually treated for arthritis or ankle sprain, which often leads to a delay in definitive diagnosis. We present an arthroscopic removal of an osteoid osteoma on the neck of talus, and review the literature.
