title: Challenging fractures of the foot and ankle.
abstract: The foot and ankle is one of the most imaged parts of the body. Although most plain radiographs reveal no bony injury, subtle fractures can be overlooked. Because it is important to detect these fractures at the time of injury, a review of the most commonly missed foot and ankle fractures is presented.
