 | | Fractures of the body of the talus are further subdivided based on whether they traverse the main portion of the body or are fractures involving the talar dome, lateral process, or posterior process. |
 | | The talus articulates superiorly with the tibia, medially and laterally with the medial and lateral malleoli respectively, inferiorly with the calcaneus, and anteriorly with the navicular. |
 | | The fracture of the talus, existing purely in the sagittal plane, is not visible on the lateral radiograph. |
