Fractures of the talus are relatively uncommon (5%–7% of all foot fractures) but can result in significant morbidity. Subtle talus fractures can often go unrecognized on plain radiographs of the ankle. The posterior process is best evaluated on lateral views, whereas the lateral process should be evaluated on both lateral and AP views.

*It is most more acceptable than other braces.
