Does a mallet toe lead to plantar plate sprain in a runner?
About this episode
Plantar plate injuries in runners are a common topic at medical conferences because they cause a lot of pain in the ball of the foot.
I just spoke to a runner who had an interesting question about plantar plate injuries, which was a question I never would have imagined.
She wanted to know whether or not a "mallet toe" might lead to a plantar plate sprain. She didn't really understand the difference between a "mallet toe" and a "hammer toe." But she did understand that one or both are in some way related to plantar plate injuries.
