Notes: Abstract The normal pre-Achilles fat pad seen on the lateral radiograph of the ankle is a triangular lucency with sharp, gently curving borders. Changes in the sharpness or contour of the fat pad margins may be associated with local or systemic disease. Alteration of the fat pad often precedes recognizable bone or joint abnormalities. Careful scrutiny of the pre-Achilles fat pad on the lateral ankle radiograph should help in early detection of ankle or systemic disease.
