Osteochondral defects (OCDs) of the talus were identified as a “TOP 10” research priority in foot and ankle surgery by the James Lund Alliance in partnership with BOFAS, BOA and NIHR. To develop a research strategy, the views of BOFAS members regarding OCDs of the talus were surveyed. The results are reported here. A questionnaire concerning the presentation, investigation and management of OCDs was formulated with input from the BOFAS National Clinical Study Group and ratified by the Scientific Committee. It concerned primary OCDs of the talus that had failed non-surgical management. It was distributed to BOFAS members via email using _Microsoft Forms_.Introduction
