Best Practice Case Studies-Three Dont Miss Foot Injuries

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Chris Fulmer, a faculty member at Stanford O'Connor Sports Medicine Fellowship, discusses evaluating foot injuries. Key procedures involve palpating the navicular bone and Lisfranc joint to assess for fractures or ligament injuries, particularly the Lisfranc ligament, which is crucial for midfoot stability. Detecting pinpoint tenderness in these areas helps diagnose issues like stress fractures, which pose risks if missed. Evaluations include manipulating metatarsals and inducing foot pronation to identify Lisfranc injuries. Accurate palpation is vital for diagnosing avascular necrosis risks in the navicular and other metatarsal injuries like Friberg's infarction.
