The cause of<unk> 's<unk> , has thus far, been declared unknown by scientists. However, it is suspected that possible causes may be caused by strain on the foot and the blood vessels associated with it, before the bone is fully able to grow into its adult form (ossification). This bone ossification usually begins within the first 18 to 24 months of a female's life and the first 24 to 30 months of a male's life. Ossification will occur more slowly on the tarsal navicular bone than on other bones of the foot. This causes an overall loss of blood supply in the areas surrounding, as a result of the compression. Furthermore, some scientists have suggested that genetic factors could play a significant role in the development of the<unk> , however no direct causation has been identified, nor a<unk> -causing gene.
