Turf Toe

Description

Mr Donatas Chlebinskas gives his expert insights by discussing various foot conditions affecting patients, particularly focusing on turf toe, which is characterized by an acute hyperextension injury causing a plantar plate rupture and subsequent instability, verified through a positive Lachman test. He also touches on sesamoiditis, a chronic pain condition associated with the sesamoid bones, commonly affecting individuals involved in repetitive foot-loading activities. The video further explains hallux rigidus as another chronic condition manifesting as progressive pain and stiffness in the MTP (first metatarsophalangeal) joint. Additionally, it contrasts these conditions with metatarsalgia and Morton's neuroma, which are noted as more lateral forefoot issues.
