If you got pain on the ball of the foot, at the base on the 2nd, and you have been running in a minimalist shoe, running uphill, doing lots of calf raises, or running on steps, you could have an injury to a little bitty ligament called the plantar plate ligament.
If you get an injury to the plantar plate, sometimes your second toe will drift toward your big toe or away from your big toe. The toe drifting sideways can happen for two different reasons.
They are very different causes and so they are treated differently.
Why does the toe drift sideways when you have a plantar plate injury?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
