Osteochondral lesions of the talus are chondral defects often caused by acute trauma to the ankle such as sprains and fractures. If operative treatment is necessary, microfracture, cartilage replacement, and autologous chondrocyte implantation can be used. We describe a single-step osteochondral allograft transfer to access the posterolateral talar dome that avoids the need for a fibular osteotomy and therefore eliminates morbidity while reducing operative time.
