Tibionavicular Region Bursa

bursa regionis tibionavicularis

A small bursa at the medial ankle where the tibionavicular band of the deltoid ligament approaches the navicular, reducing friction between this deep ligament and the overlying tibialis posterior tendon sheath as the foot pronates and supinates.

Region: Lower Leg
Clinical Relevance

Clinical Notes

Tibionavicular region bursitis presents as medial ankle and proximal foot pain distinct from both tibialis posterior tendinopathy and deltoid ligament sprain. Ultrasound identifies the bursal fluid between the deep deltoid and the posterior tibial tendon sheath. It is an uncommon cause of medial ankle pain that responds to targeted injection and orthotics addressing pronation.
