A talar dome lesion is an injury to the cartilage and underlying bone of the talus within the ankle joint. It is also called an osteochondral defect (OCD) or osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). “Osteo” means bone and “chondral” refers to cartilage.
Unless the injury is extensive, it may take months, a year, or even longer for symptoms to develop. The signs and symptoms of a talar dome lesion may include: Chronic pain deep in the ankle—typically worse when bearing weight on the foot (especially during sports) and less when resting.
A talar dome lesion is an injury to the cartilage and underlying bone of the talus within the ankle joint. It is also called an osteochondral defect (OCD) or osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). “Osteo” means bone and “chondral” refers to cartilage. Talar dome lesions are usually caused by an injury, such as an ankle sprain.
Depending on the amount of damage to the cartilage in the ankle joint, arthritis may develop in the joint, resulting in chronic pain, swelling and limited joint motion. Treatment for these complications is best directed by a foot and ankle surgeon, and may include one or more of the following.
If the lesion is stable (without loose pieces of cartilage or bone), one or more of the following non-surgical treatment options may be considered: Immobilization. Depending on the type of injury, the leg may be placed in a cast or cast boot to protect the talus.
Articular Cartilage Defect#N#For an isolated "articular cartilage defect" the most specific code would be M94.8X _: Other Specified Disorders of Cartilage (of joint). Although this code set includes the knee (lower leg: 6) and does not appear to exclude the Patella, I think that for the Patella, M22.8 _ (Other Disorders of the Patella) would be more correct. M24.8 _: Other Specified Derangement of Joint NEC seems to me to be far less specific. This is the simplest answer to the question, but this can be only a part of the joint problem. Other concerns are the presence or absence of a Cartilaginous Loose Body (s) originating from the "defect," and/or is there other articular cartilage disease of the joint, such as Chondromalacia?#N#Chondromalacia is "softening" of the articular cartilage, with varying degrees of depth and severity of involvement. It can progress to the point of producing an articular cartilage defect all the way to the bone underneath. For all joints and areas other than the Patella, M94.2 _ _ would apply to the associated Chondromalacia, if present. For Patellar Chondromalacia, if associated with an articular cartilage defect, then M22.4 _ would apply. However, the presence of Chondromalacia in any joint or area does not necessarily mean there is an articular cartilage defect, but the two can occur simultaneously/concurrently.#N#An articular cartilage defect can also be associated with &/or the source of a Cartilaginous Loose Body in the affected joint. For the knee joint, the code for an associated Loose Body would be M23.4 _; but for other joints, it would be M24.1 _ _.#N#I would be careful about "Cartilage Derangement" as regards this problem/issue. As it applies to the knee joint, "Cartilage Derangement" applies to meniscal tears, not articular cartilage disorders.#N#I hope this is more helpful than confusing.#N#Respectfully submitted, Alan Pechacek, M.D.
However, the presence of Chondromalacia in any joint or area does not necessarily mean there is an articular cartilage defect, but the two can occur simultaneously/concurrently.

Since it was done "open" rather than "arthroscopically," the best code is probably be 28899, Unlisted Procedure, foot and toes, since the procedure was done on the Talus, which is a foot bone, with possibly Modifier 22 added (Increased Procedural Services, "Drilling/Microfracture"), and send the Operative Report for documentation.

Since Osteochondritis Dissecans is neither a bone cyst nor a benign tumor of the Talus, it would be a "stretch" to use 28100, even though it most accurately describes the procedure done (Debridement/Curettage of the lesion), but does not include the "Drilling" aspect.
