Case Discussion
The case illustrates the non-contrast MDCT features of concomitant fractures of the talus bone head and neck and cuboid bone. The talus neck fractures can be classified based on Hawkins classification. One of the major complications of the talus neck fracture is avascular necrosis of the talus.
