Editing Navicular bone (section)

===Clinical significance===
The human navicular is not a commonly broken bone but it breaks due to two reasons. The first mechanism is a stress fracture which happens commonly in athletes,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nba.com/bucks/news/medical-update-pau-gasol|title=Medical Update On Pau Gasol|website=Milwaukee Bucks|language=en|access-date=2019-12-08}}</ref> and the other mechanism is a high energy trauma.  

The navicular bone is a keystone of the foot: it is part of the coxa pedis and articulates with the talus, first, second and third cuneiform, cuboid and calcaneus. It plays an important role in the biomechanics of the foot, helping in inversion, eversion, and motion; it is a structural link between midfoot and forefoot and it is part of the longitudinal and transverse arch of the foot.
