About:
A navicular button out is a slight to severe depression made into the superior medial frame of an orthotic device. This depression makes an accommodation for the plantar and medial navicular area.

Note: Enlarged Naviculars require frame fillers to elevate the surrounding areas to balance the boney prominence and stabilize the device.
