Osteochondroma of the talus.
Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor, and occurs most frequently in the proximal humerus, tibia, and distal femur. It rarely affects talus. Therefore, we report a patient with osteochondroma of the talus. Excision is a successful method of treatment for symptomatic osteochondromas with a low morbidity. Precise surgical planning will prevent the recurrence of this lesion.
