Why does the child’s accessory navicular bone ache? The accessory navicular bone (an) of the foot is the most common accessory bone, which is located in the medial and posterior side of the navicular bone and appears symmetrically on both sides.
Bursitis caused by friction between bone uplift and shoes.
The main cause of type I accessory scaphoid pain is the injury of fibrocartilage between accessory scaphoid and scaphoid, or the injury caused by long-term repeated shear force and tensile force of posterior tibial tendon.
The presence of accessory navicular bone changes the force line of posterior tibial tendon, making it prone to tendinitis and pain.
Zhou Xiaokang, director of trauma surgery (emergency surgery) of Hebei children’s Hospital, reminded parents that children and adolescents grow and develop rapidly and have more sports activities. They often cause foot discomfort due to flat feet, trauma, excessive exercise, shoe friction and other factors. When the child has early symptoms such as accessory scaphoid pain and foot arch pain, parents should pay attention to it and seek medical treatment in time.
