About the condition

What is Accessory Navicular Syndrome?

The Navicular is one of the bones in your midfoot, located on the inside of the foot.

An Accessory Navicular is an extra piece of bone next to the navicular. As a result, it can be seen as visible bony protuberance on the inner side of the foot.

The muscle posterior tibialis attaches to the navicular and the accessory bone is within the tendon. They are often only discovered when they become inflamed and aggravated.
