Abstract

Osteochondral lesions of the talus are common in track and field. Ankle instability is an important risk factor. Prevention strategies may reduce the incidence of these injuries which may endanger the career of even top-level athletes. An accurate prompt evaluation and appropriate management are mandatory. When conservative treatment fails, dedicated surgical procedures are effective with the possibility of functional restoration. A specific rehabilitation program must be followed to ease the biological repair processes and lessen the risk of recurrences or persistence of symptoms.
