Arthroscopic Removal of an Osteoid Osteoma of the Talus: A Case Report

Abstract

This article describes a patient with a 10-year history of persistent ankle pain. Differential diagnosis included osteoid osteoma and anterior ankle impingement. This patient subsequently underwent arthroscopic excision of a lesion on the talar neck following a complete radiographic work-up, which was nondiagnostic. The diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was finalized upon pathologic study of the arthroscopic shavings. The use of a motorized instrument for excision did not preclude pathologic evaluation of the specimen. Therefore, in an accessible location on the talar neck, arthroscopic excision of an osteoid osteoma can be performed.

“…treatment option that has proved to be successful in the treatment of periarticular OO of larger joints (2,3,5,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Anterior Impingement Syndrome of the Ankle Caused by Osteoid Osteoma in the Talar Neck Treated with Arthroscopy and 3D C-Arm-Based Imaging

“…Arthroscopic excision is another minimally invasive treatment option for intra-articular OO which has shown good clinical results [6, 22–26]. Unlike using percutaneous methods, tumor resection and synovectomy can be performed.…”

“…Certains auteurs ont proposé une résection arthroscopique, notamment pour les localisations au talus [9][10][11][12][13]. Dans notre observation, le traitement à ciel ouvert a été facile vue la localisation superficielle de la lésion.…”
