Abstract

The purpose of this article is to evaluate and analyze diagnosis and the clinical result of avulsion fracture of navicular. Eight patients operated from Jan. 1991 to June 2002 were evaluated retrospectively. Clinical tolerability, AOFAS score, patient's satisfaction were evaluated. Preoperative AOFAS score is $59.88{\pm}10.90$. Postoperative AOFAS score is $94.75{\pm}6.11$. All patient satisfied result of operation, and 5 patient return to training wihin 3 month. Navicula avulsion fracure is relatively rare. The small dorsal bone triangular fragment is best seen in lateral view radiographs and bone scan and/or computed tomography help corfirm diagnosis. Operative treatment is the method of choice because of shorter recovery time. Simple excision is enough to get a good clincal outcome.
