An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) can occur in many parts of the human body, but a primary ABC of the talus is extremely rare. ABCs are benign, but aggressively growing tumors that usually occur in the first two decades of life. Patients mainly complain of pain, limited movement of the involved joint or a palpable mass. Pain may worsen suddenly because of pathological fractures. If not treated properly, ABC has a risk of local recurrence, followed by the destruction of the joint and a significant functional deficit. While the complete removal of the bone tumor is essential, it is also important to treat the resultant bone defect after removal. The talus has an important part to play in weight-bearing. Therefore, an appropriate bone graft is required for large bone defects that occur after an ABC removal from the talus. We report a primary ABC of the talus in a 28-year-old male that was treated by curettage and a bone pillar pattern graft of autologous tricortical iliac crest bone. The patient had an excellent functional outcome with early weight-bearing, and there was no recurrence at 16 months of follow-up.
