Summary:Despite successful osteosynthesis, some patients report residual symptoms after ankle fractures. One of the reasons behind the postoperative complaints might be traumatic concomitant chondral lesions (CL) and/or osteochondral lesions (OCL) within the ankle joint. The study aims to systematically review the incidence of CL and/or OCL in ankle fractures and to assess their effect on the clinical outcome.
