It is difficult to discern rotational or translational displacement of a 5-mm osteochondral fragment on a perfect lateral fluoroscopic view of the ankle. Even with what appears to be a perfect lateral fluoroscopic view intraoperatively, displacement may still be present. When small osteochondral fragments are present, direct visualization of the articular surface is necessary to confidently establish that an anatomic reduction has been achieved.
