Navicular stress fracture 
Hallux rigidus/ limitus
Moreton's neuroma (metatarsalgia)
Hallux valgus
Tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction
- PTTD
25
Q

Causes of plantar fasciitis(4)

A

Pes planus increases risk
Excessive pronation or lack of resupination in late stance
Pes cavus - lack of mobility in foot &reduce absorption
Tight proximal myofascial structures
-esp calf ham and glutes

26
Q

Pages to review

A

34, 37

27
Q

Clinical features of plantar fasciitis (7)

A

Gradual onset
characterised by medial plantar heel pain
Worse with walking and running
Worse upon rising in the morning / first step
TOP medial tuberosity calcaneus
Gait biomechanics play role
Muscular tightness and weakness impact

28
Q

Treatment for plantar fasciitis (12)

A

Avoidance of activity, cryotherapy, stretching (plantar fascia and calf), taping, STM, NSAIDS, corticosteroid, heal pad, strengthening, footwear, orthoses, surgery

29
Q

causes of navicular stress # (3)

A

overuse and training error play role
possible impingement between proximal & distal tarsal bones
Decrease DF range - increase risk

30
Q

Signs and symptoms of Navicular stress #

A

Insidious onset
Midfoot pain
Localised tenderness at N spot

31
Q

What to use to find Navicular stress factures

A

MRI/ CT scans

X-ray has low sensitivity

32
Q

Treatment of Navicular stress fracture treatment (2)

A

Rest from WB + Aircast
- 6-8/52
Post immobilisation

33
Q

What is Hallux limitus (inc 1st MTP Sprain)

A

Pimarily posttraumatic injury to the plantar ligament, capsule, tendon and sesamoid #

34
Q

MOI of Hallux limitus

A

Hyperextension

  • turf toe
  • limits extension to 5 degrees
35
Q

Treatment for Hallux limitus

A
Reduced activity
NSAIDs/ corticosteroid 
PT - increase ROM, biomechanical corrections
Orthoses 
Surgery
36
Q

What is Morton’s neuroma

A

swelling of nerve + scar tissue from compression of interdigital nerve ( commonly 3-4 MTs)
