Which specialist for outer ankle pain without swellingWhich specialist for outer ankle pain without swelling
Peroneal tendinopathy, sinus tarsi syndrome, and superficial peroneal nerve entrapment cause outer ankle pain without visible swelling because pathology sits in tendons, deep bony channels, or involves nerve compression; physiotherapy is the starting point, requiring no GP referral in the UK.Peroneal tendinopathy, sinus tarsi syndrome, and superficial peroneal nerve entrapment cause outer ankle pain without visible swelling because pathology sits in tendons, deep bony channels, or involves nerve compression; physiotherapy is the starting point, requiring no GP referral in the UK.
OATS for Osteochondral Lesions of the TalusOATS for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
Lesions larger than approximately 150 mm² fail bone marrow stimulation treatment 97% of the time. OATS transplants genuine hyaline cartilage to replace the weakening fibrocartilage scar that microfracture produces in larger defects.Lesions larger than approximately 150 mm² fail bone marrow stimulation treatment 97% of the time.

ACI for talar cartilage repairACI for talar cartilage repair
Osteochondral lesions of the talus occur in up to 70% of ankle fractures; defects measuring 2cm² or larger typically undergo autologous chondrocyte implantation, which uses cultured cells rather than bone plugs to restore cartilage but requires medial malleolar osteotomy to access the joint.Osteochondral lesions of the talus occur in up to 70% of ankle fractures; defects measuring 2cm² or larger typically undergo autologous chondrocyte implantation, which uses cultured cells rather than bone plugs to restore cartilage but requires medial malleolar osteotomy to access the joint.
