Navicular stress fractures.
Since the stress fracture of the tarsal navicular was first described in 1970, awareness of the injury has increased, and navicular stress fractures have represented up to 35% of stress fractures in recent series. However, these injuries remain difficult to diagnose and treat because of their often vague clinical presentation and the poor correlation between radiographic and clinical findings.
