A member asked:

Misdiagnosed fractured navicular (initially diagnosed as a sprained ankle in late april) is causing me pain walking? x-ray this week shows healed, non-disclosed fracture, but im in pain? next steps pt, mri, ortho boot? i have long term damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If the navicular was fractured and it healed on its own you are fortunate . How X-rays mri need to access the healing of the fracture if the fracture went through the joint surface itself. Might need a custom orthotics from a podiatrist to allow function.
