ABSTRACT
An unusual case of an area of necrosis on the talar neck of a girl with a 2-year history of gradually increasing pain following an ankle sprain is presented. Initial radiographs were normal but follow-up radiography showed irregularity in the anterior talar neck. A definitive diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging. Arthroscopic removal of a necrotic fragment from the anterior talar neck that was impinging on the tibia relieved her symptoms. Two years after the operation the patient has normal radiographs and full activity.
