Second metatarsal stress fracture. Initial plain radiograph (a) showed normal appearances apart from an incidental sessile exostosis on the first metatarsal shaft. Sagittal short tau inversion–recovery MR image (b) obtained the following day depicted marrow and periosseous soft-tissue oedema around the second metatarsal with a subtle cortical break superiorly (white arrow). Plain radiograph after 2 months (c) revealed a minimally displaced healing fracture.
