  • In baseball, Fouling the ball off the front foot is a common occurrence. Many of the current MLB players are noted with this type of injury on the recent disabled list. Some players get by with a contusion to which they return in 1-2 weeks, sometimes less, and others aren’t so lucky with foot fractures, some even requiring surgery, that keep them out 2-3 months. #sportsmedicine #podiatry #baseball #mlb #injury #footinjury #southflorida #soflo #broward

  • There has been multiple calf injuries in the MLB lately. We wish all the players a speedy recovery as the second half of the season is under way. The injury is usually caused by over stretching the muscle beyond its elastic limits, age causes loss of elasticity of muscle fibers, this type of injury is more common in people over the age of 35. Return to sports in most cases is six weeks, too early of a return risk re-injury. #CalfInjury #SportsMedicine #Orthopedics #Podiatry #SouthFlorida #BrowardCounty #PembrokePines #Plantation #Weston #Baseball #MLB

  • Joints are designed to give our bodies freedom of movement. Wear and tear of a joint due to injury or due to aging may alter the lifestyle of an individual. When conservative treatments fail to alleviate the pain and deformity of a joint, arthroscopic surgery should be considered. The surgery is especially helpful for a fracture that has occurred to the ankle even after the ankle has been fixed surgically. The cartilage in the ankle joint may have been damaged during the injury causing chronic stiffness and pain that may be mild but never goes away completely. Patients often think that this is a very livable condition. However, once treated arthroscopically a full return to activity may be possible. #sportsmedicine #fracture#podiatrist#active #trauma #gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic #cycling#runner#football#soccer #crossfit #triathlon#pediatric#footpain #southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines #ftlauderdale#dance#youthsports#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • Interesting case where the patient, who had a long history of posterior heel spur issues coupled with Achilles tendonopathy, presented with a traumatic avulsion rupture of the Achilles tendon. The fragment can be seen in the pre operative X Ray (top right) and was excised intraoperatively as well (middle photo). To regain length a V to Y lengthening was performed (right photo) and a FHL tendon transfer was added to support the weakened degenerated Achilles’ tendon (middle photo). @arthrex_inc suture anchors and interference screw were used to secure the Achilles and FHL to calcaneus. #sportsmedicine #orthopedics #podiatry #dpm #trauma #southflorida #soflo #broward #ftlauderdale #westonfl #pembrokepines #plantationfl #miramarfl #sunrisefl #athlete #basketball #crossfit #orangetheoryfitness #toughmudder #spartanrace #marathontraining #soccer

  • This patient presented with a rigid end staged flat foot secondary to a tarsal coalition with additional elevated 1st metatarsal. The tarsal coalition was taken down and a triple arthrodesis was performed to realign the foot in an optimal neutral position. A femoral head wedge graft was utilized to plantarflex the elevated 1st metatarsal. Patient is now 4.5 months post operative, walking pain free and doing well with all daily activities.

  • What possible postoperative care may be needed to insure good recovery? Answer: Patients will remain nonweightbearing for six to twelve weeks. When could a person return to work or sports following these injuries? Answer: Sedentary jobs can resume after one to three weeks. Work requiring extensive weightbearing may take six to twelve months. If the bone injury is severe, a change in a person’s job may be needed. Sports modifications will also be necessary. Will there be work restrictions? Answer: Sedentary jobs will provide little problem for patients with calcaneal fractures. Work restrictions will be necessary for the person who has to weightbear. Walking long distances or standing for a period of time will adversely affect the foot. These restrictions may be in place for up to one year. In some cases these restrictions may be permanent. Will there be activity restrictions? Answer: Activities that require walking long distances or running will be limited. Return to some sports may take a year or more. In some cases, where the fracture is severe, activities that do require any type of lengthy weightbearing will no longer be allowed. Sports that require side to side motion (i.e. tennis) may be affected. #sportsmedicine#fracture#podiatrist#active#trauma#gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic#cycling#runner#football#soccer#crossfit#triathlon#pediatric#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#dance#youthsports#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • CAUSES: • Ankle fractures usually occur when the foot is twisted excessively in an inner or outer direction. • It can also occur from a fall where direct stress on the joint takes place with minimal twisting. • Bone breaks are almost always associated with ligament injuries around the ankle joint adding to the instability. SIGNS & SYMPTOMS: • Diffuse swelling and discoloration around the ankle and lower leg, ankle and foot are usually seen immediately after the injury. • There is usually difficulty putting weight on the foot and there is pain that is diffuse around the ankle. • The ankle may even look out of place or slightly deformed. #sportsmedicine #fracture#podiatrist#active #trauma #gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic #cycling #runner#football#soccer #crossfit #triathlon#pediatric#footpain #southflorida #weston#plantation#pembrokepines #ftlauderdale#dance#youthsports#broward#orangetheoryfitness #fitness#orthotics

  • Calcaneal Fracture Will further surgery be necessary in the future? Answer: If the bone has widened during the initial injury causing tendon and nerve problems, a piece of bone may be taken off the outer wall of the heel to reduce the bulkiness. If the joint develops osteoarthritis that is mild, arthroscopic surgery may be performed to clean out the joint. If the arthritis is severe, a fusion of the joint to prevent any type of motion will be needed. This will eliminate the pain and allow normal mobility. Occasionally, the hardware that is placed in the fracture site will become an irritant and this may also be removed. If the ankle has been affected by this fracture an arthroscopic procedure to remove any abnormal tissue may be warranted. #sportsmedicine#fracture#podiatrist#active#trauma#gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic#cycling#runner#football#soccer#crossfit#triathlon#pediatric#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#dance#youthsports#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • Tarsal coalitions are an abnormal union of two bones in the foot. This condition may involve one or both feet. Symptoms usually occur between the ages of eight and fourteen, depending on the location of the coalition. It will adversely affect a child’s ability to run or participate in sports. Coalitions are congenital in nature and not caused by an injury. Symptoms may first appear after an acute injury or after overuse to the foot or ankle. In 50% or more of the cases, it occurs on both feet.

  • Post-surgical repair of the fracture with screws and plates used for fixation to peicemeal the shattered bone fragments back together. There are various types of fixation that a surgeon can use for this type of procedure. It depends on which devices work best to accomplish the goal of good reduction and re-alignment of the fragments as close to their original position as possible. Pilon fractures are very complex injuries. This type of fracture involves the distal tibia and invades the ankle joint. They are usually associated with a fibular fracture. Common etiologies include car accidents, falls from heights and skiing accidents. These types of injuries usually are treated surgically due to the involvement of the joint surface, although some are either well aligned or so severe that they are treated non-surgically. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed 1600 Town Center Blvd, Weston FL, 33326 954-389-5900 17842 NW 2nd St., Pembroke Pines, FL 33029 954-430-9901 220 S.W. 84th Avenue, Suite 102, Plantation FL 33324 954-720-1530 #sportsmedicine #fracture #podiatrist#active #trauma #gymnastics #surgery#orthopedic #cycling #runner #football#soccer #crossfit #triathlon #pediatric#footpain #southflorida #weston #plantation#pembrokepines #ftlauderdale #dance#youthsports #broward#orangetheoryfitness #fitness #orthotics

  • Hallux rigid TREATMENT: Evaluation to identify the primary cause. Anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling. Change in shoes (stiff sole, low heel). Orthotic to unload the joint and transfer pressure to the central foot. Mild arthritis – Removal of abnormal cartilage and bone to allow improved joint motion. Moderate arthritis – Removal of abnormal bone and cartilage and reconstructing the joint to allow more mobility. Advanced arthritis – May necessitate an implant to the big toe joint or a fusion of the joint to eliminate pain and allow activity. In the senior patient with advanced changes the joint can be removed, which will eliminate the pain and allow mobility. #sportsmedicine#podiatry#podiatrist#surgery#footpain#footandanklesurgery#shoes#spartanrace#5k #runner#florida#soflo#orangetheoryfitness#crossfit#triathlon#SoFlo #highheels#footpain#southflorida#westonfl#plantationfl#pembrokepinesfl#ftlauderdale#footsurgery #orthotics #livinginweston#broward

  • 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 a 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. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed 1600 Town Center Blvd, Weston FL, 33326 954-389-5900 17842 NW 2nd St., Pembroke Pines, FL 33029 954-430-9901 220 S.W. 84th Avenue, Suite 102, Plantation FL 33324 954-720-1530 #sportsmedicine#arthritis#podiatrist#active#trauma#gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic#cycling#runner#football#soccer#crossfit#triathlon#healthylifestyle#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#dance#jointreplacement#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

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. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed 1600 Town Center Blvd, Weston FL, 33326 954-389-5900 17842 NW 2nd St., Pembroke Pines, FL 33029 954-430-9901 220 S.W. 84th Avenue, Suite 102, Plantation FL 33324 954-720-1530 #sportsmedicine#arthritis#podiatrist#active#trauma#gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic#cycling#runner#football#soccer#crossfit#triathlon#healthylifestyle#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#dance#jointreplacement#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • TREATMENT: • Anti-inflammatories to decrease inflammation • Stiff-sole shoes to prevent toe bending. • Avoid heels • When there is difficulty walking, temporarily immobilization in a boot quickly eliminates the pain. • Taping of the toes to lessen the pain and deformity. • If pain is severe a small cortisone injection carefully placed may help. A boot is necessary with it. • Surgery to realign the joint and help achieve a full recovery. Surgery may include; ligament repair, shortening the metatarsal (Weil osteotomy), fusion of the second toe, removal of inflamed tissue (synovectomy). A pin may be necessary in the toe for up to six weeks. It would be necessary to walk in a boot. (Correction of bunion at the same time may be necessary as it can be the underlying cause of the deformity.) #sportsmedicine #podiatry#podiatrist#surgery #footpain#footandanklesurgery#shoes #spartanrace#5k #runner #florida#soflo#orangetheoryfitness #crossfit#triathlon#SoFlo #highheels #footpain#southflorida#westonfl #plantationfl#pembrokepinesfl#ftlauderdale#footsurgery #bunion#bunionsurgery#bunionectomy

  • Yankee's first basemen, Greg Bird, underwent successful surgery last week, to which a small bone fragment was removed from the outside of the ankle. He is expected to recover fully and return in up to 8 weeks. The decision to perform surgical excision of the bone calcification was likely due to fact that Bird missed a significant portion of the 2017 season from similar ankle injury. Bone fragmentation/calcification of the fibula, the outside ankle bone, can be the resultant of an old avulsion ankle fracture, chronic ankle sprains, direct blunt trauma, and rarely an accessory bone known as the os subfibulare. Surgical excision is indicated when the bone fragment is painful preventing the athlete from competition and the injury reoccurs. Additional lateral ankle stabilization should be performed if ligament complex is involved and the athlete has a history of chronic ankle sprains. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine#MLB#baseball#active#trauma#footandanklesurgery#SoFlo#orthopedic#cleats#runner#sports#youthsports#crossfit#triathlon#pediatric#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#anklesprain#anklepain#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • Lance McCullers, starting pitcher for the Astros, was hit in the lower leg by a line drive this past weekend. He was fortunate the ball did not strike the bone, and he was able to finish his start. The muscle contusion is considered mild to moderate and he is anticipated to pitch in his next start April 6. Muscle contusion injuries have a vast range in severity depending on the location, velocity and size of the injury. Initial management should include rest, ice, compression and elevation. After the inflammatory phase subsides, contrasting ice and heat can expedite the healing process, in addition to NSAIDS and physical therapy. It can take 1-6 weeks to recover from a muscle contusion, depending on the severity of the injury. If condition is not improving, then MRI is indicated. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine#MLB#baseball#active#trauma#footandanklesurgery#SoFlo#orthopedic#cleats#runner#sports#youthsports#crossfit#triathlon#pediatric#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#anklesprain#anklepain#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • Orthotics can be a great alternative to surgery for many patients. Sometimes the foot is ineffective in absorbing shock or very weak when trying to push off during walking or running. Orthotics will help in both cases. The function is not merely to support the arch, as is often the case with commercial appliances or arch supports purchased in retail stores. The functional orthotic is prescription fitted custom to the patient's own biomechanics and is very effective in alleviating symptoms by establishing proper alignment of the foot and ankle. The flexibility of an orthotic is determined by the requirements of your sport and the degree of rigidity required to resist the abnormal forces that will result in injury. Make an appointment with one of the Foot Ankle and Leg Specialists at South Florida Institute of Sports Medicine. A thorough exam will be performed to evaluate the lower extremity which includes range of motion, muscle strength, stability and observation of gait. Call today!

  • Clippers guard, Milos Teodosic is out indefinitely with a torn plantar fascia. A torn plantar fascia can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks to heal. The rupture is a rare injury that likely results from a sudden forceful movement, consistent with those in the sport of basketball. A history of unresolved or chronic plantar fasciitis can predispose the athlete to a plantar fascia rupture. Achilles tendon stretching is the best preventative measure any athlete to take to avoid this painful injury. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine#injury#active#trauma#footandanklesurgery#SoFlo#orthopedic#basketball#runner#football#youthsports#crossfit#triathlon#pediatric#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#anklesprain#anklepain#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • It's MLB Opening Day! Fun Fact: All 30 teams will begin 2018 play on the same day, It is the first time that has happened since 1968. Baseball Injury Prevention Most American kids begin playing organized baseball at age 6 or 7. If a child is in generally good health and has no preexisting physically compromising conditions, baseball is relatively safe with proper instruction in the game's fundamentals. Players who pick up the sport again in adulthood are less likely to be in optimum condition than younger athletes, and should take it slow before jumping right into a game. Anyone who is more than 40 years old, diabetic, a smoker, or has any physical disability should see a family physician before taking the field. People with existing problems or injuries should see a Specialist at South Florida Institute of Sports Medicine, prior to taking the field. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine #MLB#baseball#active#trauma#footandanklesurgery#SoFlo#orthopedic#cleats#runner#sports#youthsports#crossfit #triathlon#pediatric#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#anklesprain#anklepain#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • Congratulations to the college teams advancing to the final four #marchmadness Too many basketball players overlook the importance of buying a durable and high-quality pair of basketball shoes, which is shocking when you consider how much time they spend pounding their feet into the ground. Bad shoes can lead not only to foot and ankle problems, but leg, hip, and even back pain as well. This is because alignment begins with your feet and moves up to influence the rest of your body. In time, the stress to a certain soft tissue or bone structure will create a fatigue injury which then renders the player unable to participate in his or her sport. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine #NBA#active#trauma#footandanklesurgery#SoFlo#orthopedic#basketball #runner#football#youthsports#crossfit #triathlon#pediatric#footpain#southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#anklesprain#anklepain#broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness#orthotics

  • In basketball, tremendous pressure is exerted on the foot and ankle. Most acute foot and ankle injuries, which occur from landing improperly from a jump or twisting while falling, are accidental and difficult to prevent. The most common acute injuries include ankle sprains, torn ligaments, muscle pulls, tendon ruptures, and fractures. Inability to bear weight immediately after injury indicates a more severe injury. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine #NBA #marchmadness#active#trauma #footandanklesurgery#SoFlo#orthopedic #basketball #runner#football#youthsports #crossfit #triathlon#pediatric#footpain #southflorida #weston#plantation#pembrokepines #ftlauderdale#anklesprain#anklepain #broward#orangetheoryfitness#fitness #orthotics

  • Fractures of the ankle occur most commonly from excessive rotation of the foot relative to the lower leg. This rotation can occur with simple injuries such as falling off of a step or even a shoe. It can occur from excessive rotation when stepping out of a car. They are more common in sports when the foot goes in one direction and the leg goes in the other. Fractures can also occur due to direct trauma to the ankle from getting hit on the inside or outside of the ankle. Fractures can also occur when falling from a height and landing directly on the bone itself. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed 1600 Town Center Blvd, Weston FL, 33326 954-389-5900 17842 NW 2nd St., Pembroke Pines, FL 33029 954-430-9901 220 S.W. 84th Avenue, Suite 102, Plantation FL 33324 954-720-1530 #sportsmedicine #fracture#podiatrist#active #trauma #gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic #cycling #runner#football#soccer #crossfit #triathlon#pediatric#footpain #southflorida #weston#plantation#pembrokepines #ftlauderdale#dance#youthsports#broward#orangetheoryfitness #fitness#orthotics

  • South Florida Institute of Sports Medicine treats basketball players of all levels of play including youth, highschool, collegiate, and professional. Injury prevention is essential for a long lasting career on the court. Most acute foot and ankle injuries, which occur from landing improperly from a jump or twisting while falling, are accidental and difficult to prevent. The most common acute injuries include ankle sprains, torn ligaments, muscle pulls, tendon ruptures, and fractures. Chronic, or overuse, injuries can be caused by inadequate warmup, poor conditioning, improper and ill-fitting shoes, worn out shoes, or a biomechanical deformity that causes undue stress on the foot and ankle. Common chronic injuries sustained in basketball include stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, achilles heel, tendinitis, patellar tendinitis, sesamoiditis, and blisters http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine #NBA #marchmadness #active#trauma #footandanklesurgery #SoFlo#orthopedic #basketball #runner #football#youthsports #crossfit #triathlon #pediatric#footpain #southflorida #weston #plantation#pembrokepines #ftlauderdale #anklesprain#anklepain #broward #orangetheoryfitness#fitness #orthotics

  • Stress fractures are more simple injuries that occur when an athlete is increasing activity level very quickly over a short period of time. There will not appear to be any minor or major trauma to the area. Just diffuse pain with weightbearing on the heel. X-rays may be necessary at first but follow­ up films usually show the stress fracture to the bone.

Immobilization in a boot is all that is necessary to prevent uneventful healing and a full return to activity. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed 1600 Town Center Blvd, Weston FL, 33326 954-389-5900 17842 NW 2nd St., Pembroke Pines, FL 33029 954-430-9901 220 S.W. 84th Avenue, Suite 102, Plantation FL 33324 954-720-1530 #sportsmedicine #fracture#podiatrist#active#trauma #gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic#cycling #runner#football#soccer #crossfit#triathlon#pediatric#footpain #southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#dance#youthsports#broward#orangetheoryfitness #fitness#orthotics
  • Most children’s feet are flat, do not hurt and are not deformed; they are, therefore, assumed to be “normal.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Developmental flatfoot is one of the most common conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system of children and teenagers. There is a tendency for the child’s flatfoot to be ignored or treated with benign neglect. The facts are that it is NOT normal, the majority of children do NOT outgrow it and there IS cause for some concern. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com/docs/Flat%20feet%20in%20Children%20and%20Teenagers.pdf Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SFLSportsMed #sportsmedicine #flatfeet #podiatrist #DPM#flatfeetproblems #footandanklesurgery#podiatricsurgery #orthopedic#orthopedicsurgery #runner #football #kids#orangetheoryfitness #crossfit #triathlon#SoFlo #pediatric #footsurgery #southflorida#weston #plantation #pembrokepines #ftlauderdale #footpain #toughmudder#youthsports #highschoolsports#spartanrace #marathontraining

  • Freiberg’s disease most commonly affects children between the ages of 10 and 15. The metatarsal head, which is one of the primary weightbearing areas of the foot, may have a temporary interruption of the blood supply to that area. Pain, swelling and difficulty weightbearing are most common when a child or teenager begins to walk. It is more common in females than in males. CAUSES: Temporary interruption of the blood supply to the end of the bone which can be seen with low-grade micro trauma to the area. This can be seen in sports that require the young athlete to do repetitive movements on the ball of the foot. Trauma to the ball of the foot, as a child or teenager may jump from a height landing hard on the ball of the foot, causing injury to the blood supply to that area. Structural abnormalities are common in which the second metatarsal is much longer than the other metatarsals. Metabolic disorders must be ruled out. http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com Twitter: @SFLSportsMed 1600 Town Center Blvd, Weston FL, 33326 954-389-5900 17842 NW 2nd St., Pembroke Pines, FL 33029 954-430-9901 220 S.W. 84th Avenue, Suite 102, Plantation FL 33324 954-720-1530 #sportsmedicine #fracture#podiatrist#active#trauma #gymnastics#surgery#orthopedic#cycling #runner#football#soccer #crossfit#triathlon#pediatric#footpain #southflorida#weston#plantation#pembrokepines#ftlauderdale#dance#youthsports#broward#orangetheoryfitness #fitness#orthotics
