X-ray and MRI images of a 16-year-old male suffering from a large calcaneal cyst (a). Intralesional curettage was performed and the lesion filled with 14 cm3 TricOs®. Radiographs showed complete defect filling postoperatively (b), and after 54 months postoperatively (c). Over time radiolucency decreased especially in the marginal area of the lesion. No signs of osteolysis were evident. The resorption was classified as a stage 2. High dissolution MRI was performed after 12 months postoperatively to assess defect filling. In T1-weighted images (d) the margin of the filled lesion showed no signal intensity. The patient had fully recovered six weeks after surgery and was free of pain
