Biggest mistake doctor can make in runner who was on crutches
About this episode
I was just giving a lecture at the 46th annual International Foot & Ankle foundation meeting at the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.
A foot surgeon in the audience asked a great question during the question-and-answer period following one of my lectures. Specifically, the lecture was medical imaging strategies to avert misdiagnosis in runners.
She asked, “After a runner has been offloaded with crutches and placed in a fracture walking boot or a cast for immobilization, do you incorporate cross training, or only focus on running?”
What is the one biggest mistake any doctor can make with a runner who has been on crutches?
Well, that is what we’re talking about today on the Doc On The Run podcast.
