We are all sad to see Cam Newton’s season end with a foot injury. While the extent of the injury isn’t clear, a lisfranc injury can take a minimum of 3 months, sometimes up to a year, to heal depending on the severity, decision for surgery and presence of any fracture or dislocation. We hope to see a fully healthy Newton come back next year and wish him a full recovery and pain free foot! #lisfranc #midfootsprain #camnewton

Wishing Tua Tagovailoa @tuamaann_ a speedy recovery. Tua suffered the same high ankle injury to the opposite leg, once again, undergoing the @arthrex_inc tight rope syndesmotic ligament repair procedure in hopes of expediting his return. Syndesmotic ligament (High Ankle) Injurys: CAUSES: Injuries of the syndesmosis are commonly associated with ankle fractures. One or more of these four ligaments can be partially or completely ruptured (torn). Without fractures, sprains can occur when the foot is in an up position relative to the ankle and the leg (tibia) externally rotates. Continued rotation can cause complete tear of the ligaments and force the outer leg bone called the fibula to move to the outside. High ankle fractures may often follow. Being hit or kicked in the outside of the lower leg in a sport such as soccer or football may cause injury to the syndesmosis. Other injuries along the inside of the ankle must also be ruled out. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: For acute injuries, swelling and pinpoint tenderness along the syndesmosis is most often seen. Squeezing the lower leg muscles from side to side “squeeze test” may also cause pain in the ankle area. Moving the foot up and rotating it to the outside will also cause pain along the syndesmosis (low ankle sprains cause pain with the foot pointing

Symptoms: Pain on the ball of the foot with weightbearing. Numbness, burning, shooting or tingling sensation in the ball of the foot and toe region. Some or all of these symptoms may be present. A feeling that there is a ball in the bottom of the foot. Cramping in the toes that requires the patient to take off the shoe and rub the toes. Pain that is aggravated by tight shoes, high heels or walking barefooted. Activities such as running, cycling, step aerobics or activities that put stress on the ball of the foot may aggravate this condition. Causes: Tight ligamentous structures that directly compress the nerve. Pronated or flatfeet. Nerves may become irritated from tight shoes or sports that put stress on the ball of the foot. Arthritis or bone spurs from the adjacent joints. Soft tissue cysts causing nerve compression. Trauma to the ball of the foot. Treatment: The goal of treating this condition is to reduce the inflammation around the nerve and to prevent further trauma to it. Changing into shoes without a heel that are wide in the front of the foot. Changing activities temporarily from weightbearing exercises to biking and swimming. Anti-inflammatory pills may be used to lessen the inflammation. Physical therapy may be helpful in some cases to reduce the inflammation. Metatarsal pads. Cortisone injections around the nerve to decrease the inflammation and scar tissue that may cause pinching of the nerve. Custom molded orthotics to correct any faulty biomechanical problem. They can be used in any type of shoe including heels. Injecting the nerve with a solution containing a small degree of alcohol and an anesthetic. This may cause the nerve to shrink up and cease the nerve from functioning. When all else fails surgical removal of the nerve may be necessary. It is done outpatient and the patient has a choice of the anesthetic. A local, twilight sleep or general anesthesia may be used according to the patient’s desire. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes. One or two days off work is needed. A surgical shoe is worn for 4-5 days and then the patient is returned to a sneaker. There is minimal pain following the surgery. Physical therapy helps to assist

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)? Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentration of platelets and growth factors created from a small amount of your own blood. Increased levels of growth factors have the potential to improve signaling and recruitment of cells. How does the PRP process work? Our doctors will recover a small amount of blood from your arm using a small needle and a specially designed syringe. The blood then goes through a rapid spinning process that separates and concentrates the platelets and other beneficial growth factors from the blood. The entire PRP production process is usually done in less than 20 minutes. What happens after that? The injected area will be anesthetized with a local anesthetic (Lidocaine). The blood with its PRP will be injected into the area directly or with the aid of ultrasound or x-ray. Am I a candidate for treatment with PRP? Speak with our specialists and ask if PRP is right for you. Your physician will perform an examination to make a determination if the use of PRP will benefit you. If you are on anti-inflammatory medications or blood thinners, your physician may temporarily discontinue the use of these until your treatment has taken place. What are the risks associated with this treatment? PRP uses your body's own natural properties to treat your injury. Side effects utilizing PRP systems are very uncommon. Will my insurance cover this procedure? While PRP treatments have been around for many years, insurance companies still consider this treatment experimental and deny coverage, despite its use on high school, college, and professional athletes in all sports. #plateletrichplasma #achillestendonitis #sportsmedicine

How can ankle replacement help? There are several ankle replacement systems available to the surgeon. Some total ankle replacement systems require more bone removal in order to obtain the desired result, others are referred to as resurfacing systems which remove less bone and essentially replace the surfaces of the joint. Certain ankle replacement systems are used for revision surgery. Today's Total ankle replacements are essentially anatomic and provide the patient with the ability to reproduce the natural movement of the ankle joint. One of the most advanced systems utilizes the Prophecy technique developed by Wright Medical. The Prophecy technique allows precise implantation of the device by using CT scans before surgery. This allows bioengineers to map out a customized plan for the individual patient thereby enhancing the success of the operation. The proper ankle replacement will depend on the patient's age, level of disease in the ankle joint, and the level of activity. The success of an ankle replacement is influenced by the condition and quality of the bone, the type and severity of arthritis, the condition of the muscles and tendons around the ankle, the weight, age and overall health of the patient, and finally the patient's commitment to physical therapy and rehabilitation. #totalanklereplacement #anklepain #arthritis #arthritisrelief

Initially x-ray findings are negative and diagnosis is made on the patient’s history and the physician’s clinical evaluation. Radiographic signs of a stress fracture may not appear for up to 21 days after the initial onset of symptoms. When fracture callus develops it is easily seen on the x-ray and is an indication that the fracture is healing. Treatment: Metatarsal Stress Fractures: The best course of treatment depends on where the fracture has developed. Metatarsal stress fractures can usually be treated with a boot that goes up to the knee. This may allow the patient to walk pain free during the healing process. If the stress fracture is to the central of the bone, this is called a diaphyseal stress fracture and this may require cast immobilization and crutches for six weeks until the fracture heals. Failure to do so may cause the bone to heal in a crooked (malunion) fashion. #sportsmedicine #footpain #runner #metatarsal #stressfracture

We treat Navicular stress fractures. We wish @paugasol a speedy recovery! Stress fractures of the navicular are relatively common injuries that occur in athletes. They are more common in sports that require a lot of sprinting or running on the ball of the foot. They are very subtle injuries that are often misdiagnosed as an ankle sprain. Patients usually present with pain across the top part of the foot just in front of the ankle. It is often vague in nature and pain is present more commonly in the mid or later part of an activity. Over time an athlete would have a difficult time running on the foot. These fractures need to be identified and treated as early as possible. X-rays may be negative in the initial presentation. It may require an MRI to evaluate the navicular. If there is bone marrow edema of the bone without any fracture line, then this can be treated conservatively with a short course of nonweightbearing in a boot or cast. If there is a suggestion that there is a fracture to the navicular, CT scans are important to get the full extent of the injury. If evaluated and treated early, stress fractures can heal with a conservative approach. A minimum of eight weeks nonweightbearing in a cast is important. These fractures may take 3-4 months before they heal. In some cases, the fracture does not heal and the condition becomes more chronic. Patients are then given the choice of doing a surgical procedure to correct the problem. If the margins of the bone are hard and sclerotic limiting the blood supply to the area then these margins need to be removed and bone grafted. A small plate or screws are then applied to the area to allow the area to heal primarily. This would require the athlete to be off from running sports for 4-12 months. Follow up examinations with a CT scan may be necessary to fully evaluate the healing process. #soflo #sportsmedicine #foot #navicular #stressfracture #weston #pines #plantation

We treat calf muscle strains and tears. We wish @kd35warriors a speedy recovery! SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: Soreness to the muscle usually develops within 24 hours of the activity. Depending on the severity of the condition a partial loss of function and strength are usually seen in the affected muscle group. There is a slight loss of muscle strength. Tightness to the affected muscle is felt. Difficulty walking may accompany it. Rarely is there any swelling or discoloration associated with these injuries. TREATMENT: Treatment is usually aimed at resting the muscle. Ice to the affected area (20 minutes on, 40 minutes off) for the first 48 hours may provide benefit. This will lessen the inflammation to the muscle region. The application of the heat 3 or more days later is beneficial before an activity to warm up the muscle. The muscle should then be lightly stretched to improve its flexibility. If there is pain associated with using the body part, rest is necessary until full range of motion is felt. This is followed by stretching the muscle to resume the muscle tendon length and strengthening the muscle to prevent recurrence. It is importance to focus on concentric and eccentric muscle contractions. PROGNOSIS: Prognosis is excellent if the muscle has healed completely. Incomplete healing of a muscle followed by concentric or eccentric activity may predispose the muscle to a complete muscle tear and a more serious problem. #sportsmedicine #basketball #Weston #Plantation #Pines #Broward #soflo

Immediate medical attention is required, closed reduction is recommended sooner than later to alleviate pain and ensure the foot receives adequate blood flow.
