title: [Fracture of the tarsal navicular bone in childhood--therapy and functional follow-up].
abstract: Using two patients as examples we describe the therapy and results of children with fractures of the tarsale os navicular. A conservative therapy is striven generally for slight dislocated fractures without interruption in the articular facet. At dislocated fractures, fractures with luxation or interruption of the articular facet an open reposition and retention with K-wire or screw is recommendable. Our functional check-up by means of dynamic pedography, the measurement of pressure, force and time under the sole locally and time wise dissolved, show subjectively not visible standard deviations, which normalized during a period by about 1 1/2 years. Differential diagnosis are aseptic bone necrosis as well as additional apophysis.
