- vertical lucency through the posterior talar process
- increased lucency compared to prior image
- joint effusion
- soft tissue swelling
- no loose body or osteochondral defect

- the presence of a joint effusion can be seen in os trigonum syndrome
- having a previously normal radiograph confirms the presence of an acute fracture
