Abstract
A simple bone cyst is usually a unilocular, solitary cystic lesion of the bone filled with serous or serosanguinous fluid and lined by a fibrous membrane. They are most commonly seen in the first 2 decades of life. The metaphyseal areas close to the physics are the most commonly affected, but they can occur in any bone. We present a case of a 20 year old female with Simple bone cyst of the calcaneum. Curettage was performed along with filling of the defect with Bio composite Beta Tricalcium phosphate/Calcium sulphate hemihydrate compound. The patient was reviewed after 3 months and is bearing full weight on the affected ankle.
