Can fallen arches cause pain in talus? my elderly dad has pain on the top of his foot near talus. he had an x-ray; no fracture.

Ankle pain: Im sorry your dad is having pain. X-rays will sometimes miss a fracture. How is his range of motion? Able to flex/extend? Able to bear weight? Full history and exam indicated. Any hardware in there from a previous fracture? Conservatively you can ice 20 minutes 4 times a day, wrap in an ace. If he can't bear weight, have him see an Orthopaedic Surgeon for repeat imaging or CT scan eval. Good luck.
