The purpose of this study is to describe, if there is, any relation between ankle morphology and development of talus osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) using certain morphological parameters derived from high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Study included a total of 93 patients: 26 patients with traumatic medial talus OCD, 30 patients with idiopathic medial talus OCD and 37 patients with normal ankle as the control group. Five MRI morphological parameters (Maximal Tibial Thickness (MTiTh), Malleolar Width (MalW), Length of Trochlea Tali Arc (TaL), Height of Trochlea Tali Arc (TaH) and Angle of Trochlea Tali Inclination (TaIA)) that are expected to be relevant to talus OCD formation are measured and compared for the three groups...
