Abstract

Summary. A case of replacement of an osteochondral defect of the talus in an 18-year-old patient using a 3D-printed titanium alloy augment is presented. The follow-up period was 2 years. The clinical and radiological outcomes were good. The function of the operated foot was comparable to that of the contralateral healthy foot.
