Plantarflexion Taping for Plantar Plate Tears

[@amyanderson9841]

Thank you. This really helped me know what kind of tape to use and how to get the taping done correctly!

[@PPMP898]

Thanks dr for detailed explanation. Taping of phalange 10 degrees dorsiflexion to surface well explained no other taping video explained it. I was doing it wrong by extending 30 degrees plantar flexion.

[@emiliaescobar7652]

Finally, a detailed video for this problem toe I have, My foot dr taped it up the 1st time great, but it's hard to remember exactly how he said to tape it, TY so much!

Omg this really helped!! I have this plus a terrible bunion going inward and my middle long toe is super crooked .. sorry I don’t know the technical names for all these stuff … and yes I always wore high heels through my 20’s and 30 now in my 40’s I am mad at myself … lol

[@JadaCol]

Dr what u doin abt them bunions

[@katiegenreau]

My issue is webbed toes. It's annoying because I can't get the tape to the base of my toes.

[@zindaaja]

with this tape on can i still do cardio in the gym?

Will this help a plantar plate injury level 3 or 4 heal?

[@BootCampFitnessandTraining]

Can you do this and still carry on with running?

[@KevinKirby2023]

I have many runners with plantar plate tears that apply this taping before their daily run just so they can run with less pain.

[@ТатьянаКоптелова-ы1я]

Именно то, что мне надо.

[@JustAboutJen]

I had my (painful foot) taped like this by a physiotherapist this week, for suspected plantar plate tear. From watching your video it appears she did it correctly with approximate 10 degree angle. But within an hour I had to remove the tape, it was causing me to limp/and pain across the top of my foot ?

[@mimitorres1411]

GRACIAS POR SU AYUDAAA

[@sfkingalpha]

Should one be using a post op shoe while doing this? It seems I have a plantar plate tear after breaking a toe. The bone is healed but I still feel pain. How long for this ti heal? I am taping just like this.

@@leonorcortesgonzalez3737 Pregundaba por cuanto voy a tener que ponerme el tape asi, todavia sentia dolor despues de sanarse el hueso. Ya no siento dolor, pero si dure unos 5 meses poniendome tape. Esto todo fue hace 3 anios.

[@titanbuck7]

Too bad the Army medics didn't know about this when I was training...

[@jbryant6016]

A bit confused. In my case, it's the 3rd toe that "floats" and the 'V' is between 2nd & 3rd toe. So, do I tape the 3rd toe down? Thank you.

[@amandad1176]

I have this same issue

[@debbieschwartz3132]

Anyone's toe red and irritated on the outside part of the toe from the taping? I've padded the toe with a cap but still extremely uncomfortable. I likely won't be able to tolerate taping 4-6 weeks😐

[@leilacarpenter10]

Does this patient have morton's toe and does this problem cause the pain and other foot issues he has? If so, can this taping overcome the problems in a permanent way? Great video, thanks.

[@organicskating]

Does this taping work on the third instead of 2nd toe? I ran my third toe phalange into a bed post.

[@SR-rd3fn]

Per quanto tempo si deve tenere in questo modo il dito?si può ottenere il risultato sperato, perché il mio dito e stato operato il dottore dice che a fatto una tenotomia,però il dito e rimasto a martello e io sono molto frustata grazie se mi risponde e mi aiuta a stirarlo.

[@memyselfandi9684]

What kind of tape is that?

[@raeking9478]

Why around the second toe? Is it unusual to feel more pain in the big toe? I'm a dancer and was diagnosed with a spiral fracture of the first metatarsal. After 8 weeks in a boot, I returned to dancing and still had significant pain. An MRI showed a bone contusion, osteoarthritis, and a partial plantar plate tear. All my pain is in the ball of my foot under the big toe. Would this taping method be helpful?

[@apollofateh324]

Have you tried metatarsal pads? Not the ones sold for dancers, those ones make it worse, but the felt or gel ones usually marketed for regular shoes? They go behind the metatarsals, in the area towards the middle of the foot. By elevating that, it takes pressure off the metatarsals, helping them recover faster.

[@crispycruiser4654]

@@apollofateh324 All this does is throw out your gait and cause pain in the other foot. Useless.

[@ManInTheBigHat]

Yes but why are you doing this, and for how long should this be left on?

[@KevinKirbyDPM]

The taping is generally put on after bathing/showering in the AM, then taken off before bedtime.

[@kurtnash8293]

So all day everday forever? Does this ever heal? How long does it take? If so.

[@serenity503]

What kind of tape it the best for this? I tried with regular sports tape and it keeps getting stuck and bending over on itself?

[@KevinKirbyDPM]

Try Johnson and Johnson Zonas tape. It is what athletic trainers use on their professional athletes for strapping.

[@serenity503]

Well, it ended up not being a good idea. I found out I had a fracture in the joint of the second toe. Supposedly it's healing, but the only thing that helps to keep the swelling down is buddy taping the second and third toes with coban wrap cut thin. Any other suggestions? I've seen a podiatrist bu he doesn't have much else to offer.

[@corygirl]

@@serenity503 I have the same injury and apparently it is forever or you will need a surgery plantar plate injury doesn't get cured without surgery, taping is just to postpone surgery and help with the pain 😭😞

[@serenity503]

@@corygirl Hi Corina. I am happy to say, my injury finally has healed but it took months! I ended up doing the best with buddy taping the 2 toes using the cuban tape that I cut really thin. This along with putting an insert in my shoes late gave me a little bit of a lift, but not too much in my arch. I thought it would never go away but it finally did. I had a stress or compression fracture in the joint and it just takes a long time to heal since it's hard to avoid bending the toes. This is why the buddy taping helped. I hope yours gets better soon!

[@scoobydoo4087]

Is ki tape better?

[@KevinKirbyDPM]

Not necessarily. Individual preference.

[@KidFreshie]

Help me understand something--What good does taping/immobilizing the proximal interphalengeal joint do when that joint is mobilized the moment he lifts his heal to run (thus flexing the MTP joint)?? This taping procedure seems to only immobilize passive motion and does nothing to inhibit actual biomechanical movement. To truly immobilize a plantar plate injury, it seems you'd have to immobilize the MTP joint...which would require an entirely different and far more elaborate taping procedure. Am I missing something?

[@KevinKirby2023]

The taping as described limits metatarsophalangeal joint dorsiflexion thus limiting stretching of the injured plantar plate. The PIPJ is not immobilized by the taping.
