Osteochondral injury of the ankle (talus)

Osteochondral injury (or osteochondral defect) of the ankle is an injury to the bone or smooth cartilage covering the joint surface in the ankle.

How is it caused?

This type of injury can be due to a severe ankle sprain that causes bone and cartilage to become loose, resulting in ongoing ankle pain. Sometimes damage can also occur spontaneously (without an injury).

How is it diagnosed?

Although this type of injury may show up on an X-ray, it’s easier to diagnose using a CT or MRI scan.

How is it treated?

An arthroscopy may be carried out to examine the joint and remove any loose bone fragments or cartilage.
