Top left: Lateral radiograph of the ankle shows a subtle lucency through the talar dome and body (arrows), consistent with a non-displaced fracture

Top left: Lateral radiograph of the ankle shows a subtle lucency through the talar dome and body (arrows), consistent with a non-displaced fracture. Top right: Sagittal non-contrast CT of the ankle better delineates the fracture (arrow). Bottom left: Sagittal T2-weighted MR image with fat saturation also shows the fracture (arrow) with associated surrounding hyperintense marrow edema. Bottom right: Sagittal T1-weight MR of the ankle shows a hypointense fracture line (arrow) corresponding with the radiographic findings. Contributed by Timothy Russell, MD
