Check for associated injuries

! Note

Clinical and radiologic findings may suggest the possibility of an impending compartment syndrome. Sometimes this can be difficult to recognize. Suggestive signs are marked soft-tissue swelling and possible denervation edema of muscles on MRI.

Examination Technique

Standard protocol: prone position, high-resolution multi-channel coil

Sequences:

Coronal double-oblique STIR (short-tau inversion recovery) and T1-weighted

Sagittal PD (proton density)-weighted fat-sat (aligned on the metatarsal showing greatest clinical abnormality; use different sagittal planes for the first and fifth metatarsals)
