A case of Kohler’s disease in a 5-year-old child picked up in an urgent care setting

Kohler’s disease (Avascular necrosis of navicular bone) is a rare cause of limping in the paediatric age group3. This is caused by mechanical compression of the navicular bone by the other already ossified tarsal bones leading to impaired blood supply1. In this study, we present a case of Kohler’s disease in a 5-year-old, with characteristic x ray findings, to increase its awareness as early diagnosis and treatment can limit disability.
