Plantar Plate Tear

A one-page care plan for patients with Plantar Plate Tear, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.

In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I know this band helps hold my toe down; the second toe is hurt most often.
    • I pause running, jumping, tiptoe moves, or other activity that makes the pain worse.
    • I wear a wide, deep shoe with a firm sole that does not bend much at the toes.
    • I rest and use ice wrapped in a towel if the ball of my foot is sore or swollen.
