Access to the cystic lesion of the talar body without damage to the articular surface is difficult. This case report is about a 23-year-old man who had a symptomatic huge cystic lesion in the left-sided talus bone. Radiograph and CT scan showed an expansile lytic lesion within the talar body. The MRI revealed a well-defined lesion with fluid-fluid levels. The needle biopsy aspirate was haemorrhagic, and hence a diagnosis of the aneurysmal bone cyst was made. As the lesion was beneath the talar dome with an intact neck and head, a medial approach with medial malleolar osteotomy was performed. The lesion was curetted out, and the cavity was filled up with a morselised bone graft. The limb was splinted for 6 weeks, and complete weight bearing was started after 3 months. At 1-year follow-up, the lesion was found to be healed up, and the patient was pain-free with no recurrence.

Key findings that aid in the diagnosis of an aneurysmal bone cyst are: 1) typically the patients are young individuals less than 20 years old; 2) an expansile bone lesion is bordered by a thin, low signal intensity rim mass; 3) the lesion is inhomogenously increased in signal on T2-weighted images; and 4) multiple fluid-fluid levels are seen with the mass on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans.

A 27-year-old man presented with intermittent right knee pain for 1 year with no previous trauma. Physical examination revealed only tenderness over the patella. Typical fluid–fluid levels were visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which highly suggested aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the patella. After removal of a large window of thin cortical bone, curettage and bone grafting followed by cerclage wiring was performed. Histology confirmed the initial diagnosis of primary ABC of the patella. At the final follow-up visit at 71 months after surgery, the patient had normal joint activity with no pain or evidence of recurrence. Previous publications indicated patellectomy in the initial series, but curettage and bone grafting have more recently provided excellent results and good graft incorporation in most cases, even for aggressive lesions. In our patient, thorough curettage and bone grafting through a wide cortical window followed by cerclage wiring fixation and figure-eight sutures was a successful treatment option for primary ABC of the patella without articular disruption.
