Abstract
Recurrent ankle sprains and other trauma as well as ankle malalignment can lead to chronic osteochondral lesions of the talus. Conservative treatment frequently fails. Several operative treatment techniques exist; however, the choice of the right procedure is difficult. This article presents a new surgical technique suitable for treatment osteochondral lesions that combines bone plasty and a collagen matrix.
