  • Title: Foot injuries in runners.
    Author: Kindred J, Trubey C, Simons SM.
    Journal: Curr Sports Med Rep; 2011; 10(5):249-54. PubMed ID: 23531971.
    Abstract:
    Injuries of the foot are common among both elite and recreational runners. Overuse accounts for most of these injuries. Plantar fasciitis and tendinopathies of the midfoot and forefoot have a high incidence in running athletes. These injuries may present with significant pain but often resolve with rest and rehabilitation. Bone injuries caused by overuse also have a high prevalence among runners. The metatarsals, tarsal navicular, and sesamoids are most at risk for stress damage. Most running injuries are self-limited and pose little detriment if diagnosis is delayed. Navicular and sesamoid stress fractures may impart significant long-term consequences, and thus, a clinical suspicion of either fracture warrants definitive diagnosis and treatment. Barefoot running recently has garnered increased attention, but currently, there is a lack of prospective studies regarding its injury reduction.
