History

A 25-year-old woman presented with pain at the lateral contour of her left ankle and foot after having suffered a motorcycle accident with contusion of the left foot 3 weeks earlier. After an interval of decreasing pain for some days, pain recurred and the patient presented to the emergency department of our hospital. During the clinical examination the patient complained about a circumscribed painful area at the lateral contour of the left foot with evidence of local inflammation. Standard lateral (Fig. 1), dorsoplantar (Fig. 2), and oblique radiographs (Fig. 3) of the foot were performed.
