Navicular stress syndrome

-----PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION----

INTRODUCTION[edit | edit source]

The Navicular is an intermediate tarsal bone on the medial side of the foot[1]. Its name (os naviculare pedis; scaphoid bone) derives from the human bone's resemblance to a small boat. It articulates with four bones: the talus and the three cuneiforms; occasionally with a fifth, the cuboid.
