To assess the usefulness of radiographs alone to evaluate acute midfoot/forefoot injuries. We believe that foot injuries are often under-estimated and that CT scans should be routinely obtained to aid in their management and avoid additional morbidity for patients. In 26 months, 255 patients had foot injuries requiring X-Rays. Of these patients, 94 (37%) had primary radiographs indicating midfoot or forefoot fractures, and 28 had subsequent CT scans. Radiographs were retrospectively re-evaluated with respect to fracture location, type, mechanism of injury and then compared with CT results.Objective
