Document Summary

Roll over on lateral aspect of ankle (pf/inv) is most common. Coming down on other player"s foot; catch foot in pothole and turn. May be due to lack of shock absorption in foot. May also occur due to fallen medial longitudinal arch. Tend to walk on lateral border of foot. Arches in standing (pes cavus or pes planus) Check for g(straight)/soleus(bent)/fhl(big toe) tightness in nwb position. Possible weakness into inversion (tibialis posterior: point toe, toe up will use tibialis anterior. Possible weakness of big toe flexor (fhl: scrunch toes. Pain may extend over the entire length of the platar fascia. May develop acutely after a fall onto the hell from a height. Tender on palpation over the central hell region and possibly the sides of the hind foot posterior to the medial calcaneal tubercle. Excess bone growth usually emanating from the medial calcaneal tubercle. None, other than sending the athlete/patient for an x-ray, when conservative treatment fails.
