The navicular bone in humans is located on the medial side of the foot, and articulates proximally with the talus, distally with the three cuneiform bones, and laterally with the cuboid. It is the last of the foot bones to start ossification and does not tend to do so until the end of the third year in girls and the beginning of the fourth year ...
The navicular bone is found in the midfoot and is one of the tarsal bones. Its structure resembles that of a boat. It is the last bone of the foot to ossify fully 1. Summary. location: lies within the medial aspect of the midfoot. relations: the talus bone, cuboid bone and the three cuneiform bones.
Plain radiographs are the best initial test in a suspected navicular fracture. Their sensitivity for identifying navicular fracture is low; however, lateral and oblique radiographs provide the greatest chance of identifying a fracture. Rarely fractures of an accessory navicular bone (if present) are also possible and may be visible. CT
The navicular is a boat-shaped bone, which has an important role in the maintenance of the medial longitundinal arch of the foot. Proximally, the navicular bone consists of a concave surface with an ovoid shape that articulates with the head of the talus.
The navicular bone is a wedge-shaped bone located on the top inner side of the middle of the foot. It serves to connect the ankle bone (talus) to the tarsal bones of the foot. Function. Although small, the navicular bone is important in stabilizing the ankle and arch of the foot.
The navicular bone is the last bone in the foot to ossify, which occurs around the third year of life; therefore, the increasing weight of the child makes the navicular bone susceptible to compression by the talus and cuneiform bones during activity.
Navicular is a short, irregular, boat-shaped bone. It bears some articular surfaces for the attachment of adjacent tarsal bones and a few other bony landmarks. Bony Landmarks. Anterior Surface. The anterior surface of the navicular bone is convex and kidney-shaped, which divides into three articular surfaces by two faint ridges.
The navicular bone of the foot is a flattened, concave, boat-shaped bone wedged between the head of the talus and the three cuneiforms. Some common variants have an additional...
The navicular bone is a boat-shaped intermediate tarsal bone located on the inner side of the foot. It articulates with the talus (at the back), the three cuneiforms (at the front), and the cuboid bone (on the outer side).
The navicular bone is one of the seven bones which make up the tarsus of the Ankle and Foot. It is located on the medial aspect of the foot, next to the cuboid bone, anterior to the head of the talus and posterior to the cuneiform bones.
