Doc On The Run Podcast

Plantar plate surgery is a failure to act quickly

22 Apr 2024

Description

Most of the runners I see who have pain in the ball of the foot from a plantar plate sprain rarely start out with a completely torn plantar plate tear.  More often, runners ignore the pain from the plantar plate sprain and it evolves into a full thickness plantar plate tear.  Surgery is only needed when the plantar plate is torn in such a way that the plantar plate ligament cannot be expected to heal without surgery.  But there are some mistakes that could lead a runner to the operating room. Plantar plate surgery is a failure to act quickly.  That's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
