Tiny wedge-shaped cortical defect at medial cortex of 3rd metatarsal bone near base.
No other fracture or sclerotic/lytic lesion.
No appreciable soft tissue swelling.
Case Discussion
The triangle-shaped butterfly fragment is formed due to the union of two oblique fracture lines.
However, butterfly fractures are usually much larger than this tiny fragment.
Unable to process the form. Check for errors and try again.
