A member asked:

Does collapse of the navicular bone lead to eventual collapse of the ankle joint?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not necessarily: Why did it collapse though? If one has a charcot type foot, one must be careful as there could be further breakdown in the foot.

No: Just becaus the navicular collapses it does not guarantee the ankle collapse. The foot can be supported witha brace to support the navicular.
