Fracture of the Lateral Process of the Talus.

A 24-year-old woman fell while ice climbing and landed on her left foot. Radiographs were taken and read as noncontributory. Eight days after the injury, the patient was still unable to bear weight due to significant pain, so she self-referred to physical therapy. Following evaluation, she was referred to primary care for further imaging to rule out fracture. The physician ordered magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed a left mildly displaced fracture of the intra-articular lateral process of the talus.
