Epidemiology of Surgically Treated Foot and Ankle Bone Tumors: A Systematic Review
In surgically treated foot and ankle bone tumors, benign lesions predominated, malignancies comprised roughly 1 in 5, and the hindfoot, particularly the calcaneus, was most frequently involved. These patterns can guide differential diagnosis and operative planning, but heterogeneity and sparse demographic data (especially age) limit precision and preclude population-level estimates.
