title: Osteoid osteoma as a cause of anterior ankle pain in a runner.
abstract: We report the case of an osteoid osteoma in the dorsal talar neck of a healthy long-distance runner, masquerading as anterior ankle impingement syndrome. We discuss the diagnosis and successful treatment using percutaneous CT-guided laser photocoagulation. A concise review of the principles of the management of osteoid osteomas is also presented.
