Kalbouneh1,*, Abdullah O. Alkhawaldah2, Omar A. Alajoulin2, Mohammad I. Alsalem1 1 Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan 2 Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Clinic, King Hussein Medical Center, Amman, Jordan Abstract Quadriceps angle (Q angle) provides useful information about the alignment of the patellofem- oral joint. The aim of the present study was to assess a possible link between malalignment of the patellofemoral joint and symptomatic accessory navicular (AN) bone as an underlying cause in early adolescence using Q angle measurements. This study was performed on patients presenting to the Foot and Ankle Clinic at the Jorda- nian Royal Medical Services because of pain on the medial side of the foot that worsened with activities or shoe wearing, with no history of knee pain, between September 2013 and April 2015. The Q angle was measured using a goniometer in 27 early adolescents aged 10-18 years diagnosed clinically and radiologically with symptomatic AN bone, only seven patients had associated pes planus deformity; the data were compared with age appropriate normal arched feet without AN. Navicular drop test (NDT) was used to assess the amount of foot pronation. The mean Q angle value among male and female patients with symptomatic AN with/with- out pes planus was significantly higher than in controls with normal arched feet without AN (p<0.05).

  • Navicular Disease Q&A

Two words horse owners really do not want to hear from their veterinarians. This chronic degenerative condition is one of the most common causes of forelimb lameness in horses. What are the facts about this disease? Dr. Barbara Page has answered some common questions about this syndrome below. Q: What exactly is navicular disease? A: This disease is an inflammatory condition involving all or some of the following anatomical parts of the foot: the navicular bone, the navicular ligaments, the navicular bursa, and the vascular system of the navicular bone. This disease is often more accurately termed caudal heel pain. Q: Could you describe these structures? A: The navicular bone, also called the distal sesamoid bone, is a boat-shaped bone that is located behind the coffin bone. Navicular ligaments, fibrous connective tissue, serve to keep the navicular bone in alignment with other structures of the foot and help the joints within the foot move properly. The navicular bursa is the fluid filled sac that helps to protect the fragile structures within the foot from friction. With out this, severe bursa pain would result. When discussing the vascular system of the navicular bone we are simply referring to the blood supply in this area. Q: What actually causes a horse to develop navicular disease? A: The exact cause is unknown, however, conformation, geographical location, age, heredity and use all may play a part.

Figure 1. Early diagnostic bilateral foot weight-bearing x-rays, 18 months pre-op. Case A 17-year-old male with a history of bilateral Kohler’s disease with 4 years of mild bilateral foot pain (Figure 1) presented to outpatient clinic with a 5-day history of severe right foot pain that began after an attempted acrobatic maneuver. Radiographs demonstrated a chronic appearing fracture of the right tarsal navicular with evidence of osteonecrosis of his navicular. (Figure 2) The prognosis, treatment, and challenge of Kohler’s disease will be discussed later. In order to address the patient’s acute issue while minimizing the potential for failure of intervention it was recommended that patient undergo open reduction and internal fixation of his right tarsal navicular with debridement of necrotic bone with insertion of a medial femoral condyle vascularized bone graft.

  • Radionuclide Bone Scintigraphy in Sports Injuries

It has retained its relevance in the imaging of acute and chronic trauma and sporting injuries in particular. The basic reasons for its longevity are the high lesional conspicuity and technological changes in gamma camera design. The implementation of hybrid imaging devices with computed tomography scanners colocated with the gamma camera has revolutionized the technique by allowing a host of improvements in spatial resolution and anatomical registration. Both bone and soft-tissue lesions can be visualized and identified with greater and more convincing accuracy. The additional benefit of detecting injury before anatomical changes in high-level athletes has cost and performance advantages over other imaging modalities. The applications of the new imaging techniques will be illustrated in the setting of bone and soft-tissue trauma arising from sporting injuries. Semin Nucl Med 40:16-30 © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

  • Imagingofrunning-Induced Osseousinjuries
    REVIEW ­­Imagingf ­o ­running-induced­­ osseous­injuries Osseous overuse and stress-related injuries commonly occur in individuals who participate in the sport of running. While the clinical history and physical examination are important first steps in establishing the correct diagnosis, imaging often plays a vital role in confirming the diagnosis and in determining the extent of injury and prognosis for the injured athlete. This article will provide a thorough review of the numerous osseous stress injuries that occur in runners, including a summary of the high-risk stress fractures. Imaging strategies are discussed and the typical radiographic, CT, MRI and nuclear scintigraphic findings are described for each of the various stress-related injuries associated with running. † keywords: bone scan n CT n MrI n running injury n sports medicine n stress fracture Timothy G Sanders n stress injury & Terry A Sanders1 1Columbia Podiatry Foot & Ankle Running continues to grow in popularity as a more likely to occur in the elderly population, Center, Columbia, MO, USA †Author for correspondence: sport and is also an important component of in women or in individuals with predispos- NationalRad Weston, FL, USA the training and conditioning of athletes who ing illnesses, such as rheumatoid arthritis or Tel.: +1 954 698 9390 Fax: +1 434 295 5265 participate in numerous other sports includ- renal disease, or exogenous steroid use [3,5,6].

  • The Symptomatic Accessory Navicular Bone
    The Symptomatic Accessory Navicular Bone Gregory Strayhorn, MD, MPH, and James Puhl, MD Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Iowa City, Iowa The accessory navicular bone may serve as a nidus for in­ flammation and irritation of the medial aspect of the foot. When symptoms occur, the presence of the bone is frequently misdiagnosed as a fracture of the navicular bone. Conservative treatment of the symptoms associated with the accessory na­ vicular bone may not permanently resolve the inflammation and discomfort. When conservative therapy is ineffective, ex­ cision of the accessory navicular bone is the treatment of choice to alleviate pain and disability. It has been reported that 10 to 14 percent of rather than as affecting the normal mechanics of normal feet have an accessory navicular bone.1 the foot.2,5 Other reports have estimated a 5 percent preva­ lence in the general population.2 The accessory navicular bone has been implicated in the produc­ Anatomy tion of a weak, painful foot.3 It was once thought The accessory navicular bone is located poste­ that the bone interfered with the normal mechan­ rior medially behind the tuberosity of the navicular ics of the foot because its relationship to the pos­ bone and is found unilaterally or bilaterally.
