Abstract

We report a new surgical treatment based on osteosynthesis for symptomatic accessory navicular. We surgically treated five cases of symptomatic accessory navicular between 2002 and 2003. The average age at the time of surgery was 14 years, and the average follow-up period was 6.4 months. All cases were classified as Veitch type 2.<BR>The surgical method was drilling to the symptomatic accessory navicular by a 1.5mm Kirschner wire and fixation by a 1.5mm PLLA thread pin. Post-operative treatment was weight bearing in a plaster cast for three to four weeks, and then exercise in the ankle range of motion. The average period to disappearance of foot pain after operation was six weeks.
