Radiograph of the foot demonstrated coalition between the fourth and fifth metatarsals, characterised by the metatarsal bar between the two metatarsals and bowing of the 4th towards the 5th metatarsal (Fig. 1). The physeal plate of the 5th metatarsal was also found to be pointing laterally (Fig. 1).
