[Stress fractures of the navicular bone. Roentgen diagnosis of a rare fracture].
Stress fracture of the tarsal navicular are rare and their diagnosis is often delayed. 1982 and 1983 we found stress fractures of the os naviculare pedis in 16 patients, 8 fractures were complete and 10 incomplete. Three types of radiographic findings are sclerosis, radiolucency and radiolucency with sclerotic borders. The fractures were localized in the middle third of the tarsal navicular. Laminography is necessary to evaluate the radiographic changes and their extension.
