How to Assess Plantar Plate Anatomy and Tears on MRI

[@JFK90787]

I justr want to say thank you for all your videos. You are carrying me through my MSK fellowship!

[@s.halqarooni3386]

Greetings from the UK, Fantastic range and number of cases to help get my eye in. Thank you Dr Agten !

[@dalia_79]

One of the best explanations i have ever seen, thank you so much.

[@DrChristophAgten]

thanks!

[@gavin3935]

Excellent video and explanation! Video was not too long and one doesn't have to watch it completely in one sitting anyway. Keep up the good work.

[@DrChristophAgten]

Thanks @Gavin for the feedback!

@@DrChristophAgten YW. I recently purchased your Speed MSK book and am enjoying that as well!

[@DrChristophAgten]

@@gavin3935 excellent to hear ! would you mind writing a review on amazon? i would very much appreciate it! thx :)

[@gavin3935]

@@DrChristophAgten Certainly. I will do so, once I've completed it.

[@DrChristophAgten]

Sorry for my voice. I had a bit of a cold while I was recording this. This video is longer than my previous videos. Suddently, it was 20min :) although I try to keep them below 10min. I was considering splitting Anatomy and Pathology into two parts. Do you think it is too long?? Do you prefer having anatomy and pathology in the same video or should I split such videos? Please comment below!

[@yannickthali9152]

I liked the link btw anatomy and pathology - direct comparing to the normal makes it a lot easier to spot the pathology.

[@DrChristophAgten]

Thx 😁

[@drmateensiddiquicom]

Perfect

[@mkg007]

I like it. Keeping both anatomy and pathology together is a great idea. Please keep anatomy and relevant pathology together in next video. Thank you for ur great videos.

[@ghassanalmeer2090]

I personally think any lecture up to 20 min is absolutely fine. Thanks for your effort.

[@immane75]

Awsome explanations , love the multiple cases and the anatomy correlation . Please do the Hallux .

[@mskblumenau]

Perfect video...the time wasn't too long. Lots of examples...I appreciate it!

[@DrChristophAgten]

You're welcome!

[@valkeriefire9928]

Thanks so much. I’m a firefighter with ball of foot pain for the last 5 months. After a cortisone shot and months of reduced activity I have not had an improvement in my pain. I finally have an MRI scheduled. Your video will help me understand what my podiatrist is saying so I can make an informed decision regarding surgery. I don’t have any dislocation of my 2nd toe (although my 2nd toe is a hair longer than my big toe unfortunately). Is it common to have a PP tear without dislocation?

[@greggarvin612]

Personally I am fine with videos of a variety of different links. So a 20 minute videos just fine with me.

[@DrChristophAgten]

Thanks for the feedback

Dear Christop Greeting from Scotland. I am a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon with fellowship training in F&A Surgery. I am really impressed with your explanations and especially the hand drawing you make with three colours. I must admit I found it difficult to visualise until I saw your coloured diagram of Accessory and True Collateral Ligament. Well Done. That’s great. Perhaps we can work togther at some point in future as I am thinking of making a KZbin channel for my patients.With my very best wishes to you and stay safe in COVID-19 period. Mr Turab A Syed, Conusltant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon,

[@jbryant6016]

Dr. Agten, just found your video. How do you diagnose a plantar plate injury/tear clinically? I've been told I do not have a tear via MRI, but I have the 'V' sign between 2nd and 3rd. The 3rd toe floats and does not touch the floor. Please advise. Thanks.

[@DrChristophAgten]

That's a question for a non-radiogist

[@martinnilsson495]

Wonderful. Thank You!

Thank you very much

[@Krystaldoll282]

Thank you for this video. I fell close to 3 months ago and have continued pain on the outside of my foot and knees. Yes, 3 months is about how long it has been for me at this point. I’ve have not seen any specialists. They have decided to request an MRI but it’s been almost 3 months will an MRI be helpful at this point? I have had shocking, lighting type feelings, side foot pain, knees hurt.

[@DrChristophAgten]

if you have symptoms , MRI is still a good tool to see what's wrong

[@warpen2010]

Great video!

Glad you liked it

[@TolisDokianos]

I'm a bit late to the party here (maybe a good thing) but as a recent patient who has no clue about reading MRIs this video greatly improved my knowledge on the matter especially when it comes to deciphering the visuals. As a patient, this helps me to have a better discussion with my doctors about my injury. As a video marketing and KZbin professional I congratulate you on growing your channel and adding value to your community. Well well done! 👍

[@TolisDokianos]

FYI to answer your question - the length of the video was just fine. it served its purpose and from what I read in the comments it did what is was supposed to to do. In brief, a video needs to be as long as it has to be and not a second longer 🙂

[@jonsopher6766]

Great Video Dr. Agten, Do you offer an online consult or MRI reading? I have an MRI showing a Partial Planter Plate tear and other issues of the forefoot that I can share with you? How can I contact you?

[@DrChristophAgten]

I do second opinions. In my channel info "about" you will see my email address.

[@XxGlaciersOfIcexX]

Not sure if u have your issue resolved, if not, learn what RIBBON TAPING is. It HEALED my condition. I wore it over a year straight.

Is an MRI the only thing to show it. I've had x-rays and she sees nothing but my pain is getting worse

[@DrChristophAgten]

Xray is not for this. Ultrasound would

[@lostinwonderland6873]

@@DrChristophAgten thank you I'm going to ask for it as the pain is getting worse especially in the mornings. Thank you for your video

[@jayrock7594]

Doctor can you please help me I been to ten different doctors and told me ten different things and I’m still in the same pain two years later please help me thank you 🙏🏼

[@XxGlaciersOfIcexX]

Anyone dealing with this condition try ribbon taping. I SUFFERED for YEARS. pain all the way up the to the lower back. Feels like stepping on pebbles. Wore the tape for over a year straight. My foot is HEALED. Edit: i was never officially diagnosed with this. I only got xrays and nothing showed up. However i exhibited every symptom. It was either plantar plate issue, or maybe capsulitus. Nasty business this injury is. One of the worst things i ever dealt with bc its a nagging, chronic issue that does not go away. It put me into depression to be honest.

[@gustavopoletto8740]

Great video!
