Abstract
Bone tumors around the ankle generally involve small, often benign lesions. They can affect any of the ankle bones: the distal ends of the tibia and fibula, the talus or the calcaneus, and are frequently diagnosed incidentally or at a late stage. Lesions located in weight-bearing areas cause pain on weight-bearing; this often facilitates early diagnosis when bone lysis occurs in a zone subject to impact or mechanical stress, a scenario frequently seen with malignant lesions. The present review covers the types of tumor encountered around the ankle, the specific characteristics of each histological type and their main locations in the ankle and hindfoot. We will then discuss therapeutic approaches based on tumor histology and location. Finally, we will outline the indications and procedures for amputation and tibiotalar arthrodesis in malignant distal tibia tumor, and the technical specificities of hindfoot lesions.
