Abstract

Objective

The purpose of this study was to present the classification of navicular bones and the anatomical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of navicular fractures of the foot.

Method

351 computed tomographic (CT) images of the navicular bone were analyzed and classified. The navicular bone’s anatomical morphology was measured by three independent researchers in each type. Analysis and recording of the measurement results followed.

Result

Navicular bones were assorted into three types: I shape(37.04%), II shape(54.41%), and III shape(8.55%). The left and right sides did not differ in any appreciable ways, except ab, bc, and ∠abc (P < 0.05); And all data were statistically different between men and women except for ∠abc (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

The classification of the navicular bone in this study may be helpful in making the treatment decision for navicular fracture.
