A primate bone rather than just a human one, no? Latin navicula, "little boat" -- Wetman 08:08, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Montanabw, you are far from the true navicular in that page. In the foot you have, from the tip to the legs, falanges, metatarsal and tarsal bones; the navicular is part of the tarsal bones. In that pages they are only talking about the falanges, and the diagrams show only the distal half of the third metatarsal, you lack half foot in that diagrams. Veterinarians usually call the navicular of horses "central tarsal bone", but in biology is called navicular, as that´s the name of the bone for most mammals. -- Lmalena ( talk) 14:38, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
"Central tarsal bone" is what is said, then. None of your sources show a modern horse (that I can see) and most describe fossils. I get it about the latin name, but that is irrelevant in this context. I cannot tell you why the "navicular bone" in the horse names a different bone from the human, but the point is that I cannot find a hock diagram in English (Latin is a different issue) that labels the Central tarsal bone as the "navicular." EVERYTHING in English calls the bone in the horse hoof the "navicular." (I don't know why, but there you have it) As this seems to be a very important distinction to you, I added a sentence about the central tarsal bone, but the sources are not great, but please understand that in English, the hock bone is not called the "navicular."

Hello all,
Would it be possible to link the reference to Navicular Syndrome to the corresponding [ Wikipedia page] ? I know this syndrome is a hot topic in equine veterinary studies and amongst equestrians, so a link may be helpful in directing people to additional information regarding the syndrome. This is especially helpful because the syndrome is often called simply "Navicular" amongst the equestrian community, so people searching for the syndrome likely encounter this page first.
Just a quick thought!

I would have thought an article on the navicular bone might not be so specific to just horses and humans. I was reading through this ( https://www.donqmedia.net/word-of-the-moment/plantigrade-digitigrade-and-ungulate/) thinking to myself that it might make more sense to structure the article in terms of form following function. Most folks with a decent understanding of anatomy will know how bone structure works. In the majority of higher-order land mammals, the navicular bone, the talus or the cuneiforms will each perform a broadly similar function. Nature loves a bit of copy-paste. I suppose what I was hoping for was an explanation on how the bone appears in plantigrades (e.g. bears), digitigrades (e.g. dogs) and ungulates (e.g. horses) and from there, how the bones differ.
