Abstract
This article describes two cases of juxta-articular osteoid osteoma of talar neck. Both patients were initially treated as having ankle sprains or arthritis before diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. A high index of suspicion and appropriate imaging studies are important to make an early diagnosis of this disorder. Once diagnosis is confirmed, en bloc resection and autogenous bone graft can cure the disorder.
