Accessory navicular bone
An accessory navicular bone is an accessory bone of the foot that occasionally develops abnormally in front of the ankle towards the inside of the foot. This bone may be present in approximately 2.5% of the general population and is usually asymptomatic. When it is symptomatic, surgery may be necessary.
Surgery can be performed at any age because it does not alter any other bones.
Symptoms of an accessory navicular bone may include plantar fasciitis, bunions and heel spurs.
