    I have a patient with suspected Navicular stress fracture. Anyone have any experience with this. I have the understanding that an x-ray will not pick this up, and bone scan is the most sensitive....Will a CT or MRI s then be needed to get an idea of the pattern of fracture before treatment and after treatement?

    Hi Pigsney:
    It always been my understanding that if you can, in fact, see a fracture line on plain films then it is NOT a stress fracture but a fracture. Regardless of the underlying cause. Much like a metatarsal fracture vs stress fracture. If one views a fracture line through a metatarsal is it proper to call this a “stress” fracture or is it more properly labeled a fracture? Then we can describe the fracture line itself (transverse, spiral oblique, etc....) I do not agree with the terminology of calling true fractures “stress” fractures merely because some non-direct traumatic forces were applied to the bone in question.
    Bone scans are very helpful but do not rule out active periostitis.
    In my opinion true stress fractures of the Naviclular are normally diagnosed clinically with verification by bone scan. It’s been my experience that as long as the patient decreases his/her activity and “the patient and the navicular are in the same room,” it will heal !!!!

    Good luck

    HMM
    Okay, so no need for complete non-weightbearing with cast? One text book I was reading said this was necessary due to high tendency of non-union due to avascularity?

    "HMM

    Hi Pigsny:
    Well, again, if you are talking stress fracture, no. If you are talking a fractured Navicular, then probably. You didn't mention the age and general health of your patient nor what the actual fracture was other than calling it a "stress fracture".

    My previous post was trying to point out this very problem with the "stress fracture" terminology. What is a stress fracture to one practitioner may be called something else by another.

    Hey hey drsarbes
    Healthy girl early/mid 20's ..... participates in aerobics 3 times a week and has been for over a year. No investigations completed as yet besides clinical so I don't know what type of fracture if any fracture at all. Treatment at the moment is strapping and rest from aggravating activity. Vague pain with excessive force placed on foot. Suspect it could be a fracture which has gradually happened over a period of time due to the forces placed on it from aerobics.

    Hi Pigsney:
    Sounds like it's not too serious. As long as she's responding to your present treatment and a little TLC no need to do anything else. You may want to evaluate her biomechanically. She may be in the over use category.
    Good luck
