Both arthroscopic and open surgical techniques may be used for treatment of osteochondral lesions of the ankle joint. Osteotomy around the ankle joint is a well established technique to extend the approach in cases where the osteochondral lesions are located more posteriorly. Medial, oblique, monoplanar malleolar osteotomy should be used in patients with lesions of the medial talus shoulder. The posterolateral ostechondral lesions are less frequent and in such cases distal fibular osteotomy is recommended. In this study the indications for different forms of osteotomy are discussed and the surgical techniques are described.
