Question
Two months after an ankle sprain, the patient continues to experience significant pain while walking.
On the right, we have a normal ankle X-ray for comparison.
On the left, we have the patient’s ankle X-ray… what is your diagnosis?
ANSWER
On the plain X-ray, it is very difficult to visualize the issue.
The persistence of pain necessitates an MRI, which then reveals a calcaneal fracture.
