The axial CT data set was used to generate high resolution reformatted images in the coronal and sagittal planes to facilitate diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.   Radiation dose reduction techniques were utilized on this exam.  COMPARISON: None.  FINDINGS: The bony mineralization is within normal limits.  The alignment of the osseous structures is anatomic.  There is no fracture, AVN or intraosseous destructive lesion.  There are degenerative changes of the ankle mortise. There is chondrocalcinosis within the ankle mortise.  There is a chronic osteochondral defect involving the medial talar dome.  There is edema of the anterior soft tissues of the ankle.  No discrete fluid collection.  No retained radiopaque foreign body.  No joint effusion.  IMPRESSION: Edema throughout the anterior soft tissues of the ankle without discrete fluid collection to suggest hematoma or abscess.  No evidence of acute bony injury.  Chronic deformities and degenerative change of the ankle.  CRITICAL RESULT: No.  COMMUNICATION: Per this written report.
