Demographic Predictors of Concomitant Osteochondral Lesion of the Talus in Patients With Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is commonly found as a concomitant pathologic lesion in a large proportion of patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). This study investigated which characteristics in a patient with CLAI increase the risk for OLT.

Methods

Three hundred sixty-four patients who underwent a modified Broström operation for their CLAI were reviewed retrospectively. The characteristics of each patient and variables associated with OLTs were investigated. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the effect of each potential predictor on the incidence of OLT, and to evaluate the associations between the patient characteristics and variables associated with OLTs.

Results

Patients with OLTs were more frequently female (f
