Ankle cartilage injury

Ankle cartilage damage is most commonly seen in football players, with an reported incidence of up to 80%, so it is also known as football ankle and can also occur in sports such as gymnastics and skiing. Because osteophytes often appear in the late talus, this disease was once called ankle osteophyte warts.
