Abstract
The authors developed a minimally invasive method with computer-assisted na vigation for retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions of the talus. Pla nning of the pathway and adjustment of the targeting device were performed outside the operating room. in 10 cadavers and four patients, accuracy of p in placement was in the range of 1.0-3.5 mm.
