Anatomic Location and Morphology of Symptomatic, Operatively Treated Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus

With regard to symptomatic, operatively treated OCLTs, the results of the current study parallel current evidence that posteromedial and anterolateral OCLTs are not the most common locations of OCLTs. As well, medial OCLTs were larger in surface area than lateral OCLTs, but no differences existed with regard to lesion depth. It is interesting that operatively treated OCLTs were twice as commonly located in the centrolateral third rather than the centromedial third of the talar dome.
