Medial oblique radiograph obtained in a 22-year-old man shows minimally distracted avulsion fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone (arrowhead). Note the wide calcaneonavicular gap (solid arrow) and the smooth, rounded, and well-defined calcaneal (C) and navicular (N) cortices (open arrows).

Medial oblique radiograph obtained in a 60-year-old woman shows undisplaced fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone (white arrowhead). Note the narrow calcaneonavicular gap (solid arrow), the flattening and widening of the calcaneus where it approaches the navicular (black arrowhead), and the smooth, regular, and well-defined calcaneal (C) and navicular (N) cortices (open arrows).

Note the narrow calcaneonavicular gap (solid arrow), the flattening and widening of the calcaneus where it approaches the navicular (arrowhead), and the rough, irregular, and poorly defined calcaneal (C) and navicular (N) cortices (open arrows).
