Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
The accessory navicular or os tibiale externum is often erroneously considered as a normal anatomic and roentgenographic.
It is the most common ossicle in the foot. [1] Most commonly it occurs bilateral.[2]
We can distinct three types of accessory navicular bone:
1) A small round separate ossicle imbedded within the posterior tibial tendon.
2) A larger, triangular ossification centre adjacent to the navicular tuberosity and connected by a synchondrosis.
3) An enlarged medial horn of the navicular itself, called a cornuate navicular.
These three types have a collective incidence of 4 to 21% [3] The type 2 and 3 variants have been associated with pathologic conditions such as posterior tibial tendon tear and accessory navicular bone [3]
