Abstract

Osteochondral lesions of the talus are common injuries that are most often the result of trauma. The natural progression of osteochondral lesions is not well understood. It is still unclear which lesions eventually lead to joint degeneration and osteoarthritic changes and if the treatment method affects the progression. The existing literature surrounding this topic is sparse, with inconsistent findings. The presented images are taken from a 72-year-old man with bilateral osteochondral lesions of the talus. To our knowledge, this is the first published series of images illustrating the natural progression of a patient with bilateral osteochondral lesions of the talus over a 12-year time period.
