Abstract:
This report describes the case of a young athlete, who presented with a painful foot and was eventually diagnosed with early-stage Mueller-Weiss syndrome (spontaneous osteonecrosis of the navicular) by MRI. As non-operative management was unsuccessful, a percutaneous decompression of the navicular was performed. The patient made a full recovery and was able to return to her previous level of sporting activity. Subsequent imaging showed complete remodelling of the bony architecture of the affected navicular.
