title: Management of Paget's Disease of the Calcaneum.
abstract: The calcaneum is not the most common site for Paget's disease of bone, with only a few reports of monostotic involvement. We present 2 cases of Paget's disease of bone affecting the calcaneus, present an overview of the published data, and describe our management of these interesting cases.
