Case:
This article presents a case of bilateral isolated fractures of the sustentaculum tali. Subtle radiographic findings of sustentaculum fractures on routine foot and ankle series are often difficult to detect, which can result in a delayed diagnosis. Early diagnosis and timely operative management allowed for a good short-term outcome.
Conclusions:
We emphasize the importance of a thorough physical examination in all high-energy trauma patients and an awareness of less common injury patterns that are subtle on radiographs and may require further workup. When clinical suspicion exists, we recommend the use of computed tomography scans for evaluation.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
