About this episode
I have recently had a rash of runners with navicular fractures.
The navicular is a bone that is right on the top of your foot, in front of your ankle and it's also at the apex of your arch.
Navicular fractures are scary because doctors often recommend surgery.
There are four times when you might really need to have surgery for a navicular fracture and in this episode, we are going to talk about why.
What are the four times a navicular fracture might need surgery?
Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
