Overview<br>Everyone has one In an ideal situation, the navicular bone: and the accessory bone will fuse together to form one of bone. The problem that occurs is that sometimes the small two bones of do not fuse together and the foot. A small number of people have patient is left with what is known as a second small navicular bone fibrous union or piece basically a non solid union of cartilage located on the inside of the foot just above the arch: both are simply called an "accessary navicular bone to bone." It This fibrous union is located within the posterior tibial tendon which attaches more like scar tissue and in this area. It theory can cause pain when excessive strain is easy to see as a "bump." Most that have placed upon it never have pain. If they get pain, we call it: "Accessary navicular bone syndrome."<br><br><br><br>Causes<br>The syndrome It is commonly believed that the posterior tibial tendon loses its vector of pull to heighten the arch. As the posterior muscle contracts, the tendon is no longer pulling straight up on the navicular but must course around the prominence of bone and first pull medially before pulling upward. In addition, the enlarged bones may result from any irritate and damage the insertional area of the followingposterior tibial tendon, previous trauma such as a foot or ankle sprainmaking it less functional. Chronic irritation from shoes or other footwear causing friction against Therefore, the presence of the accessory navicular bone. Strain from overuse or excessive activitydoes contribute to posterior tibial dysfunction.<br><br>Symptoms<br>Adolescence is a common time for the symptoms to first appear. This is a time when bones are maturing and cartilage is developing into bone. Sometimes, however, the symptoms do not occur until adulthood. The signs and symptoms of accessory navicular syndrome include A visible bony prominence lump on the midfoot (the inner side part of the foot, towards the middle, just above the arch) of the foot. Redness , swelling, and swelling sensitivity of the bony prominence. Vague pain Pain or throbbing in the midfoot middle of the foot and the arch. Difficulty with foot movement and activity. Possible skin callous or skin irritation caused by footwear rubbing over the lump. Not everyone who has an accessory navicular will develop these problems. When problems do occur, usually occurring during or after periods they may begin in early adolescence. The obvious indication is a painful bump on the inside of the foot, which hurts to touch, and causes problems that gradually become worse, and which are aggravated by activity, walking, etc., leading to all the problems discussed here. Pain may be worse towards the end of the day, and continue into the night.<br><br>Diagnosis<br>To diagnose Keep in mind there are two different types of accessory navicular syndromebones, medical staff ask about the patient?s activities and symptoms. They will examine which you can distinguish by getting a weightbearing AP X-ray of the foot for irritation or swelling. Medical staff evaluate the bone structure, muscle, joint motionDwight has classified type I as a small, round and discreet accessory bone just proximal to the patient?s gaitmain navicular bone. X-rays can usually confirm Geist described the diagnosis. MRI or other imaging tests may be used to determine any irritation or damage to soft-tissue structures such as tendons or ligaments. Because navicular type II accessory bone irritation can lead , which is closely related to bunions, [http://julihargrow.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/treatmentthe body of the navicular but separated by an irregular plate of dense fibro-for-hammer-toe-pain heel spurs] and plantar fasciitis, it?s important to seek treatmentcartilage.<br><br>Non Surgical Treatment<br>Many individuals with symptomatic accessory naviculars can be managed successfully without surgery. Standard The goal of non-surgical treatment includes shoes that are soft around the inside of the ankle can allow for any excess prominence of bone. Therefore, it accessory navicular syndrome is recommended that either shoes with plenty of padding and space in to relieve the ankle area are purchased, or pre-owned shoes can symptoms. The following may be modified by a shoemaker to create extra space in this areaused. Immobilization. For example, many patients will get their ski boots expanded Placing the foot in a cast or removable walking boot allows the affected area around to rest and decreases the prominence, minimizing irritationinflammation. Ice. In additionTo reduce swelling, a shoe bag of ice covered with a stiff sole will help disperse force away from thin towel is applied to the arch of the foot during walking, thereby minimizing the force affected area. Do not put ice directly on the posterior tibial tendonskin. Medications. An offOral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may be prescribed. In some cases, oral or injected steroid medications may be used in combination with immobilization to reduce pain and inflammation. Physical therapy. Physical therapy may be prescribed, including exercises and treatments to strengthen the-shelf arch support muscles and decrease inflammation. The exercises may also help decrease prevent recurrence of the stress applied by symptoms. Orthotic devices. Custom orthotic devices that fit into the posterior tibial tendon. If necessary, an ankle brace applied to shoe provide more substantial support to for the arch , and may be play a role in preventing future symptoms. Even after successful where a simple arch support failstreatment, the symptoms of accessory navicular syndrome sometimes reappear. When this happens, non-surgical approaches are usually repeated.<br><br><br><br>Surgical Treatment<br>If non-surgical treatment fails to relieve Fusion of the symptoms of accessory navicular syndrome, surgery may be appropriate. Surgery may involve removing to the navicular with screws is required when there is a large accessory navicular bone and removal of this bone, reshaping would reduce the articular surface of the Navicular to the talus (coxa pedis). Fusion will [http://etsukosinrich.wordpress.com/ relieve pain] without disrupting the areatibialis posterior tendon insertion nor narrowing talar head support. In most instances, a patient’s recovery will be as follows. 0-6 weeks: Immobilization (in case or cast boot) non-weight-bearing or touch weight-bearing. 6-10 weeks: Increasing activity in a cast boot. Physical therapy to work on strength and repairing balance. Full recovery after 9 weeks-2 months. In some patients (where the posterior tibial tendon to improve its function. This extra bone is not needed for normal foot functionstill intact and functioning) the treating surgeon may allow weight-bearing as tolerated in a cast boot immediately after surgery.
