An accessory navicular bone is an accessory bone of the foot that occasionally develops abnormally in front of the ankle towards the inside of the foot. This bone may be present in approximately 2-21% of the general population and is usually asymptomatic. [1] [2] [3] When it is symptomatic, surgery may be necessary.
This bone may be present in approximately 2–21% of the general population and is usually asymptomatic. [18] [19] [20] When it is symptomatic, surgery may be necessary. The Geist classification divides the accessory navicular bones into three types. [20] Type 1: An os tibiale externum is a 2–3 mm sesamoid bone in the distal posterior ...
The talus is then resected, and the foot is placed so that the lateral malleolus rests opposite the calcaneocuboid joint, and the medial malleolus lies just above and behind the navicular bone. The foot is held in place with a surgical pin or with Kirschner wire. After the operation, the patient wears an above-knee cast for six weeks, followed ...
The navicular bone in the horse is supported by the distal sesamoidean impar ligament and two collateral sesamoidean ligaments. The navicular bursa is located between the flexor surface of the navicular bone and the deep digital flexor tendon, which runs between the bursa and the distal phalanx. [8] The central tarsal bone in the hock of the ...
The radial collateral ligament (external lateral ligament, radial carpal collateral ligament) extends from the tip of the styloid process of the radius and attaches to the radial side of the scaphoid (formerly navicular bone of the hand), immediately adjacent to its proximal articular surface and some fibres extend to the lateral side of the trapezium (greater multangular bone).
Tarsal coalition is an abnormal connecting bridge of tissue between two normally-separate tarsal (foot) bones, and is considered a sort of birth defect.The term 'coalition' means a coming together of two or more entities to merge into one mass (in the case of bones, see synostosis). [1]
The navicular, deriving its name from its boat–like shape, is a small but critical bone. It connects the ankle with the bones of the foot. It connects the ankle with the bones of the foot. It articulates with five tarsal bones ( talus , cuboid , and three cuneiform bones ) forming slightly mobile syndesmotic ( fibrous ) joints and has a ...
The dorsal ligaments are three small bundles, one attached to each of the cuneiform bones. The bundle connecting the navicular with the medial cuneiform bone is continuous around the medial side of the articulation with the plantar ligament which unites these two bones.
