| Abstract | The present thesis highlights the etiology, incidence, phenotypes as well as management of (osteo)chondral injuries to the ankle throughout a wide and inter- and multidisciplinary scope. The overreaching goal of the thesis was to work towards an evidence-based personalized approach for the treatment of incremental cartilage damage of the ankle with a specific focus on the treatment of large, secondary osteochondral lesions of the talus, hence aiming to prevent the further progression in the above-mentioned cascade from osteochondral lesion to end-stage osteo-arthritis. |
