Plantar Plate Sprain vs Tear vs Rupture in a runner

If you're a runner who is had aching pain in the ball of the foot you may have been diagnosed with a plantar plate sprain or a plantar plate tear. Or maybe you were told you had a plantar plate rupture.
The most important factor to a runner is how quickly you can heal the plantar plate injury and get back to running.
The chances are good your doctor didn't really discuss this component of your treatment plan. When you get a plantar plate injury many doctors will simply tell you to stop running and let it heal.
That plan can take months. If you're a runner with a plantar plate injury you need to understand the differences between the terms used to describe the condition so you can better understand what you need to do to heal and get back to running.
Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about the difference between a plantar plates sprain vs. a tear vs. a rupture when you are a runner.

I can't believe there are only 2 comments. And I can't believe how many podiatrists just missed this diagnosis.

I had a MKS ultrasound and was diagnosed with a chronic full thickness tear. Hammertoes of the second and third digits. Dr wants to operate on the second, third and fourth digits and fix bunion. He doesn't believe in fixing the tear itself. He believes cutting the joints and making the toes shorter will solve the problem. I'm afraid that I'll be going back at some point to fix the tear. Is fixing the hammertoes only a problem.

Thanks for watching and I hope you found the video helpful. I could not offer advice based on that level of detail. However we could jump on a webcam call to discuss in detail if needed.
