  • Title: Calcaneal bone graft after enchondroma excision.
    Author: Rude CC, Scurran BL, Karlin JM, Silvani SH.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1985; 24(4):283-7. PubMed ID: 4045121.
    Abstract:
    Enchondroma is a commonly encountered bone tumor in the foot, frequently necessitating excision. The calcaneus is a convenient source of bone for a bone graft, should that be required. The patient's own calcaneus offers the advantages of both cortical and cancellous bone, accessibility, dependable bone healing, and the superior osteogenic potential of autologous bone.
