title: Transchondral Fractures of the Talus on an lnversion Injury of the Ankle: A Frequently Overlooked Diagnosis.
abstract: Twenty-one cases of transchondral fractures of the ankle, seen between 1980 and 1984, were studied. Twenty were available for follow-up. The average follow-up period was 23.5 months. In all cases but one the diagnosis was delayed. The diagnosis stated by clinical signs in medial transchondral fractures seems to be pathognomic: localized tenderness on the posterior medial side of the talus, pain increasing on exertion, and provocation of pain on passive plantar flexion. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1987;8(7):362-367.
