Case: A 17-year-old boy with a history of chronic bilateral navicular osteonecrosis with fragmentation was treated with 6-month staged bilateral open reduction and internal fixation of tarsal navicular with debridement of the necrotic bone and ipsilateral medial femoral condyle vascularized bone grafting.
Conclusion: The patient progressed to full painless weight-bearing on each extremity by 4 months postoperatively with osseous union of both chronic fracture sites and incorporation of vascularized bone grafts. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores were improved from preoperative levels at 6 months from each operation. This patient's atypical presentation of a rare disease was successfully treated with the utilization of vascularized bone grafting to salvage the tarsal navicular and preserve the talonavicular joint, enabling return of function and avoidance of early arthrodesis procedure.
