Prevalence and orthopaedic relevance of the supranavicular bone: a systematic review with meta-analysis
The OS is a rare anatomical variant with potential clinical and surgical relevance, particularly in the context of navicular pathology. Its presence should be considered in radiological assessment and preoperative planning, especially in athletes and patients with midfoot pain or stress injuries. Future anatomical and biomechanical investigations are needed to further elucidate its pathophysiological role.
