Whats the treatment for a navicular stress fracture?
6 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
See below: Navicular can be foot or wrist, either way, it needs to be seen by an orthopedist for hand or foot or podiatrist for foot. Navicular fractures in the wrist can be problematic and result in a vascular necrosis of the bone. Get seen.

Navicular : If it is in the foot , see a podiatrist . He/she will guide you in the course of treatment. Do this sooner rather than later. Good luck.
