Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. Preoperative, the patient had severe pain in the ankle joint, walked lame, and was unresponsive to pain relief medicines, even Aspirin. Post-operative, there was immediate and complete pain relief and the patient remains asymptomatic after 06 weeks.
