Abstract

Accessory navicular is a congenital anomaly of the tuberosity of the navicular from a secondary ossification center. The accessory navicular is occasionally the source of pain and local tenderness over the medial side of midfoot. If conservative treatment fails for the painful accessory navicular, surgical treatment is required. There are several surgical option for accessory navicular, which vary from simple excision, percutaneous drilling, modified Kidner procedure and osteosynthesis of the accessory ossicle to the navicular body. In addition, symptomatic flatfoot deformity should be addressed concomitantly.
