In this article we have done a study about a patient with simple bony cyst of calcaneus because of its great importance and tare frequency of presentation, contributing in this way to the handling and treatment of this pathology with the use of bone implant. We made a revision of current literature and we also demonstrated clinically and radiologically a case of bony cyst located in the region subtalar of the calcaneus which has been treated surgically by means of curettage and aplication of implant of spongy bone of tibia ipsilateral. A good evolution was observed in this patient.
