#REDIRECT [[Osteonecrosis]]
* Most commonly affects talus, navicular and the first and second metatarsal bones
* Köhler disease
** = osteonecrosis of the navicular bone
** Rare
** In young children (5 – 10)
** Boys > girls
** Presents with pain on dorsal and medial surface of foot
** It’s self-limiting, so conservative treatment with NSAIDs and immobilization is the only treatment
*** No role for surgery
* Osteonecrosis of the 2nd metatarsal head (Freiberg disease)
** In adolescents (13 – 18)
** Girls > boys
** Presents with pain on forefoot
** Treatment
*** Conservative
**** NSAIDs
**** Immobilization
*** Surgery
**** Rarely needed (only in severe disease)
**** Osteotomy/arthrotomy
* Sever disease
** = osteonecrosis of calcaneal apophysis (the tuberosity of the calcaneus)
*** Sever disease is also called calcaneal apophysitis
** Often occurs in young athletes (8 – 12)
** Pain in the area of the calcaneal apophysis
** It’s self-limiting, so conservative treatment with NSAIDs and immobilization is the only treatment
*** A soft heel pad decreases the pressure on the calcaneus
*** No role for surgery
