Purpose: To evaluate the clinical significance and usefulness of a bone scan in accessory navicular bone. Materials and Methods: Eighty-five patients with foot pain and accessory navicular bone on radiography, who underwent bone scan from 2012 to 2015, were analyzed retrospectively. The subjects was divided into a symptomatic and asymptomatic group according to the presence of navicular bone tenderness. The grade of bone scan uptake was divided into 3 grades. Age, gender, grade of bone scan and size of the accessory navicular bone were analyzed. The symptomatic group were divided into a low (grade 0, 1) and high uptake (grade 2) group to determine the appropriate treatment. The low uptake group was treated conservatively for 3 months. The high uptake group was initially treated conservatively for 3 months and surgery was performed if pain persisted. For the clinical evaluation, the visual analogue scale, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society midfoot scale were evaluated in the first examination and last follow-up date. The patient's satisfaction grade was also evaluated at the last follow-up. Results: The asymptomatic group mostly showed no uptake in the bone scan. On the other hand, some patients in the asymptomatic group showed an increase in uptake. In these patients, the size of accessory navicular bone was related to the grade of bone scan uptake, showing that the bone scan uptake grade can be predicted when applying different cut off values for the bone size. The symptomatic group mostly showed uptake in the bone scan and the grade of uptake had a positive correlation with the size of the accessory navicular bone (p<0.05). Age and gender were not related to the bone scan uptake. In the clinical evaluation, conservative and surgical treatment showed a good outcome. Conclusion: The bone scan uptake grade alone cannot be used to completely predict the symptoms. On the other hand, the size of the accessory bone can increase the bone scan uptake. Therefore, the size of the accessory bone, and patient symptoms should be considered in patients with a high uptake when deciding treatment.

An extremely rare accessory bone of the foot located in the distal portion of the navicular that articulates with the medial cuneiform was observed. Os paracuneiforme is usually located medial to the medial cuneiform or the naviculocuneiform joint. Although os paracuneiforme is often referred to as an accessory bone around the foot, few cases of this type of accessory bone have been reported. This paper reports a patient with a painful Os paracuneiform who underwent surgical excision of the accessory bone.

Purpose: To determine the locations and incidences of sesamoids and accessory bones of the forefoot in normal Korean adults. Materials and Methods: The plain radiographs of the forefoot of 400 volunteers, 200 males and 200 females, were taken. The three orthopedic surgeons participated in the radiographic evaluation independently. Persons who had history of foot problem or injury were excluded. Results: Sesamoids of first metatarsophalangeal joint were nearly always present; medial 99% and lateral 100%. The bipartite sesamoid was more common in medial (9.8%) and in female (17.0%) than in lateral (0.3%) and in male (2.5%). Sesamoids of the interphalangeal joint of the first toe were seen in 35.8%. Sesamoids of metatarsophalangeal joints in other four toes were rarely observed. Their incidences were 5% in second toe, 0.8% in third, 0% in fourth, and 2.8% (lateral) and 7.5% (medial) in fifth. Sesamoids of interphalangeal joint in four lesser toes were not observed except two cases (0.5%) in the fifth toe. Accessory bone was very rarely observed. Os vesalianum was observed in five feet (1.3%), Os intermetatarseum in 14 feet (3.5%), and Os cuneo-metatarsal I tibiale in none. Conclusion: We determined the location and incidences of sesamoids and accessory bones of the forefoot, and we expected this to help to diagnose the forefoot problem.

Purpose: to investigate the etiology and the results of surgical treatment of the symptomatic accessory navicular in adults. Materials and Methods: Between 1996 and 2000, 17 cases in 16 adult patients who were older than 20 years were diagnosed as painful accessory na vicular. 11 patients could recall a twisting injury of the ankle, and 8 of them were inversion sprain. 4 patients had tibialis posterior tendon lesions. 13 feet of 12 patients were treated by resection of accessory navicular, the synchondrosis, the medial portion of the navicular and reattachment of tibialis posterior tendon without transposition. 9 feet in 8 patients were followed for more than one year after surgery. In 4 patients with tibialis posterior tendon lesions, additional procedures were performed according to the state of the lesion. Results: All were type II accessory navicular bone which had synchondroses. There was gross motion of the synchondrosis in 'the operating field in all feet. Of the 9 feet which were followed for more than one year after surgery, results were excellent in five and good in four. Conclusion: The painful accessory navicular in adult might be closely associated with inversion ankle sprain, and also with the tibialis posterior tendon lesions. Satisfactory result could be obtained without transposition of the tibialis posterior tendon to the undersurface of the navicular and immediate postoperative weight bearing does not have harmful effect on the result.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of Kidner procedure combined with medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) in patients with the symptomatic accessory navicular with hindfoot valgus. Materials and Methods: From January 2014 to January 2019, fifteen patients (15 cases) who had undergone a Kidner procedure combined with MDCO for symptomatic accessory navicular with hindfoot valgus were included. Their mean age was 36.3 years old (19~61 years old) and there were 6 males and 9 females. The clinical results were evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score, and postoperative subjective satisfaction. The radiographic results were evaluated using the talonavicular coverage angle and the anteroposterior talo-first metatarsal angle, the lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, the calcaneal pitch angle, and the hindfoot alignment angle. The postoperative complications were also evaluated. Results: The VAS and AOFAS midfoot scores continuously improved until 12 months after surgery. Subjective satisfaction after surgery was excellent in 10 cases and good in 5 cases. The hindfoot alignment angle significantly changed after surgery. Pain due to lateral impingement disappeared in five patients, and persisted in one patient. Five patients complained of irritation caused by their fixation devices, and all the symptoms improved after removal of the fixation devices. Conclusion: Kidner procedure combined with MDCO in patients with the symptomatic accessory navicular with hindfoot valgus showed good clinical results with satisfactory correction of hindfoot valgus. In particular, the clinical results showed continuous improvement until 12 months after surgery.

Purpose: Congenital spinal dermal sinus tract is a rare lesion connecting skin to deeper structures including neural tissue. It results from the failure of the neuroectoderm to separate from the cutaneous ectoderm in the third to fifth week of gestation. The common locations are the lumbosacral and occipital regions. Sometimes it extends to spinal canal. In this paper we report a case of congenital spinal dermal sinus tract in the coccyx. Methods: A 21-month-old male child born after an uncomplicated full-term pregnancy was admitted to our institute with a midline dermal sinus and a cartilaginous protrusion in the coccygeal region. There were no signs of infection. Neurologic examination showed no functional deficit in both lower limbs. He was treated with complete excision of the tract and an underlying accessory cartilage. Results: The spinal dermal sinus tract was extended from the skin to the coccyx. The stalk was loosely attached to the accessory cartilage of coccyx. At that point, it was dissected from the accessory cartilage and resected. The accessory cartilage was also resected at the bone and cartilage junction. During the follow-up period of 6 months, the wound healed well without any complication nor recurrence. Conclusion: Congenital spinal dermal sinus tract is known as a form of spinal dysraphism. In order to prevent complications, timely surgical intervention including complete resection of sinus tract with correction of associated abnormalities is of utmost importance.
