A member asked:
Mri report said either subchondral fracture of navicular or avascular necrosis. if it's a fracture, does that mean it went necrotic? very confused
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be both: Fractures of the navicular bone can be complicated by avascular necrosis if one fragment loses it`s blood supply.
