Total calcanectomy for the treatment of a primary tumor of the calcaneus is rarely indicated, and options for reconstruction after this procedure are limited. However, replacement of the entire calcaneus with a massive allograft is one option. We report the cases of two patients who had a reconstruction with a total calcaneal allograft and were followed for thirty-two and nine years. The case of the first patient was reported previously in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, in 1953, after a short duration of follow-up8. We are not aware of any previous reports on the long-term results of this procedure.
