Cause of V Toes Plantar Plate Tear

In today's video: Cause of V Toes Plantar Plate Tear I show you a patient with a Plantar Plate Tear which is the most common cause of V toes. The plantar plate is a band of fibrous tissue that runs underneath the distal metatarsal heads and help to hold the metatarsal heads together. The plantar plate also helps to cushion the metatarsal heads and prevent the drop of the metatarso-phalengeal joint. A plantar plate tear can result in the toes splaying apart and can be the cause of V toes and cause irritation or crowding of the surrounding toes.

Went to a podiatrist that didn’t want to do anything about my splaying toes. My toes were not like this five years ago. I am very disgruntled.

Many people have this and can still function very well with minimal to no pain

I got a plantar plate strain from accidentally stomping some sharp gravel on a trail run. I remedied the pain and weird shape with rest, foot-strengthing exercises, hot water soaks, and massaging it out nightly before bed. Now I'm back to running 30 miles a week in completely flat 8mm-thick flexible sandals. Still got V-toes a bit, but my foot is strong. I still don't understand how orthotics don't just cause the muscles in your feet to atrophy. Going barefoot as much as possible has helped heal most problems I've had.

Thank you for the helpful information , I have lived with this for 3 years now and tried everything but the orthotic, I have been taping my foot , wearing softer shoes and toe wraps to tape the two toes together and it never got any better but I have nerve damage from a back surgery so my feet are always numb and sometimes painful so it's a tough case 😊

👍👍👍. Thank you

I had a tendon transfer and since since there's a big gap between my big & second toe, could I also have plantar plate tearing ?

[@annmarie826]
