足底腱膜断裂の一例

抄録

A 37 years old female ruptured the plantar fascia of the foot without associated injury to the achilles tendon while she was under a low posture with the knee flexed, ankle plantar flexed and MP joint dorsiflexed during badminton play.
It can be considered that the rupture was brought out by the Windlass Action of the plantar fascia due to extreme dorsiflexion of the MP joint. A surgical primary suture was performed with an excellent result.
