What is a bone bruise of the talus dome mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Steven Brown answered

Specializes in Hand Surgery

Trauma?: the talar dome articulates with the tibia and fibula and is covered with articular cartilage. Bone bruise indicates that there is some degree of inflammation and or damage to the bone beneath the cartilage. As this joint bears all your weight when standing or walking this can be quite painful.
