Abstract

Osteochondral fracture of the [human] talar dome is an uncommon lesion occurring after ankle inversion and tearing of the lateral ligaments. The lesion can be overlooked if internal oblique radiographs are not obtained. The value of tomography is discussed. Symptoms may persist for many months if accurate radiographic diagnosis is delayed. Prompt arthrotomy is indicated to prevent post-traumatic arthritis of the ankle joint.
