There is a subchondral lucency with a subtle halo evident within the lateral aspect of the talar dome, best appreciated on frontal view. There is no focal flattening or loss of contour of the talar dome.
No definite joint effusion is detected. No other bony abnormality detected.
Case Discussion
Osteochondral defects can be pretty subtle and thorough examination of the talus dome on ankle radiographs is warranted.
