Patient Data
Age: 35 years
Gender: Female
From the case:
Talar dome osteochondral injury
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/34741/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
On a single projection (oblique) there is a subtle cortical irregularity at the superolateral aspect of the talar dome that may represent a minimally displaced fracture, but is possibly projectional. Symmetrical ankle joint mortise with no talar shift.
From the case:
Talar dome osteochondral injury
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/34736/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
There is very small cortical injury/fracture present at the anterolateral aspect of the talar dome. No other fracture or malalignment identified.
Case Discussion
The talar dome is a very common location for osteochondral injuries.
