FRACTURE OF THE NAVICULAR

Fracture of the accessory navicular.

Stress fracture of the navicular bone.

Navicular stress fractures in athletes are notoriously difficult to diagnose, resulting in an average delay in diagnosis of 4 months after the onset of symptoms. There are various reasons for this delay. Navicular stress fractures are characterised by an unspecific symptomatology combined with a paucity of physical findings. Furthermore there is difficulty in visualising stress fractures on pla...

Isolated Tarsal Navicular Fracture-dislocation

Nine cases of fracture-dislocation of the tarsal navicular are reported. Six patients were male and three were female. Their mean age at the time of injury was 30.4 years old. The cause of the injury was a traffic accident in five cases and a fall from a height in four. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed in four cases (three by Kirschner wire, one by screw) and plaster fixation ...

Unusual Variant of the Nutcracker Fracture of the Calcaneus and Tarsal Navicular

A 62-year-old woman with severe seizure disorder presented with right ankle and foot pain after being found down, presumably following a seizure recurrence. Imaging showed an acute comminuted fracture of the anterolateral aspect of the right calcaneus, as well as an acute avulsion fracture of the right navicular tuberosity at the site of insertion of the tibialis posterior tendon. This fracture...
