Abstract
A stage-4 osteochondral fracture of the anterolateral part of the talar dome in a 42-year-old sports-active woman was treated arthroscopically using biodegradable fixation [polyglycolic acid/(Biofix)]. She returned to the previous sport after 3 months without any complaints and, 15 months later, she is still without any symptoms from the ankle joint. A computed tomography scan after 15 months showed normal conditions. The technique is described, and arthroscopic surgery is proposed in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the anterior part of the talar dome.
