Abstract

M$\ddot{u}$ller-Weiss disease is a rare disease presenting severe deformity of navicular with osteoarthritis. This disease can be confused with Kohler's disease, but has a different entity. A 68 years-old male with painful mid-foot deformity had diagnosed as M$\ddot{u}$ller-Weiss disease, and triple arthrodesis with autogenous iliac bone graft had been performed on his left foot. Here is a report of our case with brief review of this disease.
