"The tibialis posterior tendon inserts into the medial side of the navicular bone at the navicular tuberosity 2."
"Dorsal cuneonavicular ligament and plantar cuneonavicular ligament are two ligaments that join each cuneiform bone to the navicular."
"Plantar calcaneonavicular (part of the spring ligament) attaches to the lateral aspect of the groove of the navicular tuberosity."
"Accessory ossicle: Present on the medial aspect of the navicular, known as an accessory navicular as result of a separate ossification centre."

"The navicular derives from a single ossification centre (in the absence of anatomical variation) and appears approximately at 3 years of age. It is thought to be one of the later bones in the midfoot to ossify. In girls, this may be between between 18-24 months, and in boys between 30-36 months 4."

"Ossification"
"The navicular bone articulates proximally with the head of the talus bone, laterally with the cuboid bone and distally to the lateral, intermediate and medial cuneiform bones 2."
