Compressive stress on plantar plate in runners

I recently posted an episode that was talking about four different kinds of stress and strain that can be applied to the plantar plate ligament that might slow down the healing of that little bitty ligament in runners. 

I got a couple of questions about that and one of them was specifically about how to tell whether or not that is really a problem and one person wanted to know if they had a dropped metatarsal if that might be contributing to this issue of compressive stress. 

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking a little bit more about compressive stress on the plantar plate ligament in runners.
