A Clear Vision for Better Patient Care

A 27 year old female runner complained of progressively worsening pain in the middle of her ankle.  MRI examination of the ankle by an AAR radiologist diagnosed Accessory Navicular Syndrome, a painful condition caused when a congenital extra bone or piece of cartilage in the ankle is aggravated due to trauma,  poorly-fitting footwear or excessive activity.  The condition may be treated with medication, physical therapy, orthotic devices or surgery, depending on the severity.
