A member asked:
Given that you can't get a joint replacement since navicular isn't one, how would they treat avn of the tarsal navicular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avascular necrosis: AVN refers to a disruption of the vascular supply to a bone. Early treatment involves protecting the bone from stress. If late in the process and bone has been damaged beyond repair then either bracing or surgical joint fusion can be considered. Consult a podiatrist or foot and ankle specialist to evaluate and discuss treatment plan.
