Doc On The Run Podcast

Should a runner have surgery to shorten a long second metatarsal bone?

08 Sep 2023

Description

Today's episode comes from a second opinion discussion with a runner suffering with a nagging plantar plate ligament injury.  She was considering surgery for a plantar plate sprain. Truth is, her plantar plate sprain was not really that bad.  It's pretty common when runners have trouble healing a plantar plate sprain, the doctor may recommend a number of different surgeries. One of those surgeries is where we actually shorten a bone in an attempt to decrease the tension and pressure on the plantar plate ligament. Should a runner have surgery to shorten a long second metatarsal bone?  Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
