Abstract
We present three cases of fractures of the lateral process of the talus, where routine anteroposterior and lateral radiographs showed an abnormality but were insufficient to assess the degree of bony injury, which is important for clinical management. Lateral tomography provided good diagnostic and anatomical detail. The diagnosis and treatment of this unusual and often missed fracture is discussed.Keywords
