Fe Analysis of the Symptomatic Navicular - A Case Report

Abstract The accessory navicular (AN) is a bony formation located on the medial side of foot, proximal to and continuous with posterior tibialis tendon. It emerges as developmental variant due presence secondary ossification center adjacent primary navicular. regarded physiological anatomical variant. In most instances, this an incidental finding. Radiographic values are used define three types AN based its relationship symptomatic causes pain in portion bone, decreased range motion discomfort shoe wearing. case recurrent symptoms, following inadequate diagnosis treatment, it can result acquired flatfoot. Our study examined condition asymptomatic young man both flatfeet, who was initially treated conservatively, then, after failed response therapy, surgically. Following Kidner procedure (excision reattachment insertion tendon) rehabilitation, patient reports no subjective symptoms period 12- month monitoring. An objective examination conducted use FE analysis during weight-bearing. We determined reduction total weight-bearing pressure distribution lateral metatarsal, heel region.
