Abstract

The purpose of this article is to focus attention on the abnormalities which the radiologist may encounter in patients presenting with lateral ankle or foot pain outside of the context of acute trauma. These include anterolateral impingement, subfibular impingement, subtalar instability and tarsal sinus syndrome, tarsal coalition, sural neuromas, peroneal tendon abnormalities, calcaneocuboid instability and occult cuboid fractures, and painful accessory ossicles. The expected and unexpected findings on radiographs, CT, US, and MRI are discussed.
