They can be caused by genetics, trauma, and growth defects. The incidence of all osteochondromas in the hands and feet is approximately 10%, and they are extremely rare in the calcaneus. They generally arise from the metaphysis and metaphyseal-diaphyseal region of the long bones. Osteochondromas, which are generally painless, are noted with signs of inflammation in the bursa, vascular and nerve compression, pain caused by joint deterioration, swelling in the subcutaneous tissue, or gait disturbance. The incidence of malignant transformation of solitary osteochondromas is 1%. We present two cases, an 11-year-old male patient and a 32-year-old male patient, diagnosed with osteochondroma in the calcaneus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7547\/21-041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,12]],"date-time":"2023-09-12T13:37:06Z","timestamp":1694525826000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Calcaneus as a Rare Location of Solitary Osteochondromas: Two Case Reports"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"113","author":[{"given":"Onur","family":"Kaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Abdulkadir Yuksel State Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Gok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Abdulkadir Yuksel State Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akif","family":"Mirioglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cukurova University Medicine Faculty, Adana, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nese","family":"Yeldir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sivas Cumhuriyet University Medicine Faculty, Sivas, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","reference":[{"key":"B1","series-title":"Cancer","first-page":"461","article-title":"Dedifferentiation of low-grade chondrosarcomas","volume":"28","author":"Dahlin DC","year":"1971","unstructured":"Dahlin DC, Beabout JW: Dedifferentiation of low-grade chondrosarcomas.
