Abstract

Although many authors consider Müller- Weiss syndrome as a osteonecrosis, it is a navicular dysplasia occurring in childhood that remains asymptomatic until adulthood. It is caused by a delay in the ossification of the navicular associated with the compression of the lateral portion of the tarsal navicular by the talus that is shifting laterally and in varus. There is usually bilateral and symmetrical involvement.

Resumen

Aunque muchos autores la consideran una osteonecrosis, la enfermedad de Müller-Weiss es una displasia del escafoides tarsiano producida en la infancia, pero que se mantiene asintomática hasta la edad adulta. La fisiopatología es debida a un retraso en la osificación, asociado a una compresión de la porción lateral del escafoides tarsiano por el astrágalo lateralizado y en varo. El compromiso suele ser bilateral y simétrico.
