Dance-Related Foot and Ankle Injuries and Pathologies.
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery 2023 January
Dancers are highly vulnerable to injuries due to high dynamic overload, extreme positions and motions, and excessive use. Increased load at the forefoot with jumping and high-impact lands can cause sesamoiditis and stress fractures of the metatarsals. Significant plantarflexion can lead to posterior joint impingement and flexor hallucis longus tendonitis, whereas forced dorsiflexion can cause anterior joint impingement. Most pathologies can be diagnosed on physical examination and various imaging modalities. Treatment should be tailored to the dancers' needs and should begin with a course of conservative therapy with immobilization, physical therapy, and activity cessation.
