Abstract: Osteochondral lesions (OCD) of the talus are a common cause of chronic ankle pain and dysfunction, especially with history of injury and trauma to the ankle [1-3]. Lesions that do not respond to non-operative treatment may require surgical intervention arthroscopically or as an open procedure. Revision repair of osteochondral lesions historically has been performed as an open procedure with increased potential of postoperative complications. Smaller lesions that do not respond to non-surgical treatment have historically been treated with marrow stimulation, including micro fracture and subchondral drilling, yielding good results in the short-term [1-3].
