Purpose of Screening
- Detecting micro-fractures often missed by standard X-rays
- Assessing bone stability in the midfoot region
- Determining the appropriate rehabilitation plan for athletes
Persistent midfoot pain can signal a navicular stress fracture. Our clinical screening provides early detection for athletes, ensuring proper recovery and preventing long-term joint complications in the foot.
