Abstract
OBJECTIVE, Osteochondritis dissecans of the talar articular surface of the ankle joint has been well described. We ripen the imaging characteristics o f osteochondritis dissecans of the tibial articular surface (tibial plafond ). CONCLUSION, Osteochondritis dissecans of the tibial plafond is a rare condi tion that may not be detectable on radiography. Its radiologic findings are similar to those of osteochondritis dissecans located elsewhere in the bod y.
