Abstract
A 63-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of left ankle pain. She recalled a traumatic ankle sprain 6 months before. Plain-film radiographs and MRI were obtained.
The name “osteochondral lesion” mainly describes a posttraumatic lesion involving an area of hyaline cartilage at an articular surface and its underlying subchondral bone. This process can precipitate to loss of continuity at the talar articular surface, with decreased range of ankle motion and eventually osteoarthritis.
