چکیده
Internal fixation of sagittal navicular fractures has a good prognosis. With careful case selection 80% should return to normal work. Osseous union of these fractures is not necessary for a satisfactory outcome to surgery. In view of the poor prognosis for conservative treatment, internal fixation of fractured navicular bones should be considered in all cases and carried out as soon after fracture occurs as possible.
