Background: Authors refer to different methods assess subjects’ foot posture. All present several limitations depending on the examiner or chosen test. This study aims investigate relationship between tests and Footprints parameters diagnose subjects with a flat neutral foot. Methods: The sample consisted of 37 participants, where 16 were included in flatfoot group 21 group. Only who presented ...

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 ...

Sir,?The ' os naviculare manus '* and the ' os naviculare pedis '* are two bones in the human body serving homologous functions and having analogous positions; the term ' navicular' being common to both, confusion is possible. Generally the prefix and suffix of the ' naviculare' are omitted, the adjuncts of distinction being dispensed with, and the bone being called the ' navicular bone' for al...

To this end, we describe an area that arises from the midpoint of the navicular-calcaneal line (MPNCL), which contains both nerve divisions in the majority of cases. We called this area the danger zone. We identified the size and location of this danger zone by dissecting a total of 50 cadaveric feet. We measured the distance from the origin of each nerve division to both the navicular tuberosi...

BACKGROUND An accessory navicular is generally asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on radiographs. The natural history of an accessory navicular in the pediatric population is largely undescribed. METHODS The medical charts of 261 pediatric subjects undergoing 2620 annual unilateral radiographs of the foot and ankle (age range 0.25-7 years at enrollment) were reviewed. Radiographs were e...

Fragments of the distal border of the navicular bone are identified radiologically with low frequency in horses free from lameness. There is higher frequency of occurrence in horses with foot pain, especially navicular disease. The clinical significance of a fragment per se is controversial. There is limited knowledge about the progression of the lesion and/or lameness. The pathogenesis of frag...
