Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Lateral Process of Talus Involving the Subtalar Joint: An Unusual Case

We report a case of a 34-year-old male with osteochondritis dissecans of lateral process talus which was missed on imaging studies and identified intra-operatively. The patient was treated with curettage of the subchondral cyst at talus, followed by bone grafting and fixation of the osteochondral lesion with a 4-mm partially threaded cancellous screw. At the 1-year follow up evaluation, there were no signs of recurrence and the patient resumed his complete activities including sports.
