Abstract

In 62 % of osteochondral defects of the talus (OCDs), the defect is located on the medial talar dome [ 6 ]. These medial defects are generally deep and cup-shaped [ 4 ]. An OCD may sometimes heal and stabilize but often progresses to a cystic lesion causing deep ankle pain on weight bearing, prolonged swelling, diminished range of motion, and synovitis [ 15 , 25 ].
