Surgical Management of Pediatric Muller-Weiss Disease

We propose he developed MWD through mechanical compression of the lateral navicular, resulting from a short lateral calcaneal column relative to the talus. Our poor understanding of MWD creates challenges in its diagnosis and management. Although rare in children, it is not exclusively a disease of adulthood. Early recognition may allow correction of underlying deformity to prevent progressive fragmentation and degenerative deformity.
