Book Chapter Description

In diagnosing osteochondral defects, MRI and CT have similar diagnostic accuracies. CT is faster, better for preoperative planning, cheaper and allows the ankle to be depicted in various anatomical positions in a 3D manner. CT enables clear delineation of the true osteochondral defect, will not overcall the size due to bone marrow edema (as seen on MRI), and helps assessing the extent of the osseous defect in the presence of cystic defects.
