Treatment of Ankle and Foot Injuries in Professional Sports
摘要
Treating foot injuries in professional athletes can be challenging given their high-performance expectations, their desire to quickly return to competition, and threats to their career and financial status should they fail to return at a reduced performance level, if they sustain reinjury, or injury in an adjacent body region while compensating for the index ankle or foot injury when returning to competition too soon. This chapter provides an overview of ankle and foot injuries considered to be particularly troublesome in professional sports.
