Foot injuries of the recreational athlete
1St. Joseph's Medical Center, South Bend, IN, 46637, USA.
Abstract:
Adult recreational athletes, or 'weekend warriors,' are vulnerable to foot injuries such as Achilles tendon ruptures, plantar fasciitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, midfoot tendinitis, metatarsal stress fractures, and interdigital neuroma. Physicians also need to be alert for less common injuries such as Jones fractures and tarsal navicular stress fractures because of the risk of delayed healing or nonunion. Many foot injuries can be treated conservatively, but some Achilles tendon ruptures, Jones fractures, and tarsal navicular stress fractures may require surgery.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
