Non-operative care can be successful in smaller osteochondral lesions. This involves immobilizing the ankle joint in a cast or brace and subsequent physiotherapy in the form of range of motion and strengthening exercises.

In cases where the condition does not respond to non-operative care, an arthroscopic (key-hole) procedure can resolve the problem. This involves debridement (cleaning up the damaged area) and cartilage repair. 
The following video illustrates how this procedure is performed.


Our institution has published local data showing excellent patient outcomes for this procedure.
