Injury Areas
1.Rear-foot
2.Midfoot
3.Forefoot
2
1.Rear foot
a) Plantar Fasciitis
b) Fat Pad Contusion
c) Calcaneal Stress Fractures
3
a) Plantar Fasciitis

It is a degenerative condition of the plantar
aponeurosis.

It is caused by repetitive microtrauma as
part of an overuse syndrome.
4
Plantar fascia

It is a dense fibrous
membrane that extends the
entire length of the foot, from
the calcaneal tubercle to the
proximal phalanges.

It protects the underside of
the foot and helps support the
arches.
5
Predisposing factors

May be anatomic, such as pes cavus or pes
planus, leg length discrepancy, or excessive
pronation; or biomechanical, such as poor
foot gear, muscle tightness, nerve
entrapment, or over-training.
6
Clinical features

Pain occurs on initial
standing, as the plantar
fascia contracts during
sleep.

On examination, there
is usually point
tenderness at the
medial calcaneal
tuberosity.
7
b) Fat Pad Contusion

Contusion occurs as an acute injury after a
fall onto the heel or chronically as a result of
excessive heel strike, such as long jumping.
8
c) Calcaneal Stress Fractures

Stress fractures can be shown with a
radioisotopic bone scan.
9
2. Midfoot
a)Navicular Stress Fracture
b)Extensor Tendonitis
c)Midtarsal Joint Sprains
10
a) Navicular Stress Fracture

It is important to diagnose this condition, as
significant morbidity is associated with non-
union.

Dorsal foot pain and pain and tenderness over
the navicular are clinically suggestive.

Isotopic bone scan and follow-up CT scan are
required for complete diagnosis.
11
b) Extensor Tendonitis

It will cause an ache
over the dorsal aspect
of the mid foot and
insertion of tibialis
anterior.

The extensor tendons
may be weakened
and strengthening is
essential.
12
c) Midtarsal Joint Sprains
• Happen occasionally, specially when instability
of the foot is present.
• In particular, the calcaneonavicular ligament
may be injured.
13
3. Forefoot
a) Metatarsal Stress Fractures
b) First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Sprain
c) Sesamoid Injuries
14
a) Metatarsal Stress Fractures
• Pt. complains of fore-foot pain,
aggravated by running or weight
bearing activities.
• Neck of the second metatarsal
is the most common site of pain.
• Bone scan may be needed to
confirm the diagnosis.
• Most difficult fractures to
manage are those at the base
of the second metatarsal, the
proximal shaft of the fifth
metatarsal, and the sesamoid
bones.
15
• Acute inversion injury of the foot may cause
avulsion of the peroneal brevis tendon, or
fracture of the proximal shaft of the fifth
metatarsal (Jones fracture).
• This fracture often results in non-union.
16
b) First Metatarsophalangeal
Joint Sprain
• Occurs as a result of excessive forced
dorsiflexion of the first MTP joint, and is referred
to as “turf toe”.
• History of vigourous “bending” at the first MTP
joint, with pain on movement.
• Injury involves a sprain of the plantar capsule
and ligament.
17
c) Sesamoid Injuries
• Include traumatic fracture,
stress fracture, and sprain
of a bipartite sesamoid.
• Usually associated with
marked tenderness and
swelling in the sesamoid
region.
• Patient will often walk with
their weight borne laterally
to compensate.

Foot injuries

  • 1. Foot Injuries Dr.R.G.Unnikrishnan MD(Ay) Associate Professor & HOD, Vaidyaratnam.P.S.Varier Ayurveda College Kottakkal Malappuram Dist, Kerala drrgunni@gmail.com www.ayursuccess.org1
  • 3. 1.Rear foot a) Plantar Fasciitis b) Fat Pad Contusion c) Calcaneal Stress Fractures 3
  • 4. a) Plantar Fasciitis  It is a degenerative condition of the plantar aponeurosis.  It is caused by repetitive microtrauma as part of an overuse syndrome. 4
  • 5. Plantar fascia  It is a dense fibrous membrane that extends the entire length of the foot, from the calcaneal tubercle to the proximal phalanges.  It protects the underside of the foot and helps support the arches. 5
  • 6. Predisposing factors  May be anatomic, such as pes cavus or pes planus, leg length discrepancy, or excessive pronation; or biomechanical, such as poor foot gear, muscle tightness, nerve entrapment, or over-training. 6
  • 7. Clinical features  Pain occurs on initial standing, as the plantar fascia contracts during sleep.  On examination, there is usually point tenderness at the medial calcaneal tuberosity. 7
  • 8. b) Fat Pad Contusion  Contusion occurs as an acute injury after a fall onto the heel or chronically as a result of excessive heel strike, such as long jumping. 8
  • 9. c) Calcaneal Stress Fractures  Stress fractures can be shown with a radioisotopic bone scan. 9
  • 10. 2. Midfoot a)Navicular Stress Fracture b)Extensor Tendonitis c)Midtarsal Joint Sprains 10
  • 11. a) Navicular Stress Fracture  It is important to diagnose this condition, as significant morbidity is associated with non- union.  Dorsal foot pain and pain and tenderness over the navicular are clinically suggestive.  Isotopic bone scan and follow-up CT scan are required for complete diagnosis. 11
  • 12. b) Extensor Tendonitis  It will cause an ache over the dorsal aspect of the mid foot and insertion of tibialis anterior.  The extensor tendons may be weakened and strengthening is essential. 12
  • 13. c) Midtarsal Joint Sprains • Happen occasionally, specially when instability of the foot is present. • In particular, the calcaneonavicular ligament may be injured. 13
  • 14. 3. Forefoot a) Metatarsal Stress Fractures b) First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Sprain c) Sesamoid Injuries 14
  • 15. a) Metatarsal Stress Fractures • Pt. complains of fore-foot pain, aggravated by running or weight bearing activities. • Neck of the second metatarsal is the most common site of pain. • Bone scan may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. • Most difficult fractures to manage are those at the base of the second metatarsal, the proximal shaft of the fifth metatarsal, and the sesamoid bones. 15
  • 16. • Acute inversion injury of the foot may cause avulsion of the peroneal brevis tendon, or fracture of the proximal shaft of the fifth metatarsal (Jones fracture). • This fracture often results in non-union. 16
  • 17. b) First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Sprain • Occurs as a result of excessive forced dorsiflexion of the first MTP joint, and is referred to as “turf toe”. • History of vigourous “bending” at the first MTP joint, with pain on movement. • Injury involves a sprain of the plantar capsule and ligament. 17
  • 18. c) Sesamoid Injuries • Include traumatic fracture, stress fracture, and sprain of a bipartite sesamoid. • Usually associated with marked tenderness and swelling in the sesamoid region. • Patient will often walk with their weight borne laterally to compensate. 18
