SPORTS INJURIES

Anyone who participates in sports can receive injuries to the foot and ankle due to running, side-to-side cutting or from direct trauma.  They should be aware of the following risks:

• Inversion ankle sprains can damage the ankle ligaments and can also be associated with peroneal tendon injuries and fractures.
• Ankle fractures, metatarsal fractures, Lisfranc fractures and turf toe can sideline athletes and sometimes require surgery.
• Contusions and bone bruises may also result from high impact sports such as football.
• Overuse and excessive training can lead to heel pain (plantar fasciitis), Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, stress fractures, posterior tibial tendonitis (or PTTD) and calcaneal apophysitis in children and adolescents.
