Fracture of the lateral process of the talus: a report of 2 cases.
Fracture of the lateral process of the talus is historically a rare injury with an increasing incidence. This fracture is easily misdiagnosed as an ankle soft-tissue sprain, and a high index of suspicion is essential in making a timely diagnosis to avoid any long-term sequelae. A CT scan should be performed in preference over an MRI scan.
