Abstract

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare bone tumor usually observed in long bones. The surgical treatment of this pathology is often related to high recurrence rates, so novel biological techniques can help to enhance tissue regeneration and bone consolidation. We present a case of a patient with ABC of the calcaneus treated with an endoscopic resection followed by grafting with an autologous-based matrix composed of allograft bone chips and autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in semisolid and liquid states. Patient demonstrated excellent defect filling in both magnetic resonance imaging and radiologic exams and returned to pre-injury activity with no recurrence at 2 years follow-up. Endoscopic curettage together with allograft bone and autologous PRP is effective in treating ABC patients and could be a good adjuvant treatment to prevent reinjury and enhance consolidation.
