aOriginal model (left), with all parameters included, was evaluated first, which revealed 2 statistically significant parameters: age and talar osteochondral lesions (OCLs) located in lateral zones. The model was reduced to these 2 parameters (right), where age and talar OCLs located in lateral zones were significant. An analysis of variance was performed to confirm that reducing the model to include only age and talar lateral zone accepts the null hypothesis that the other parameter coefficients from the original model are equal to zero. All statistical analyses were performed with R, and P < .05 is considered statistically significant (in bold).
