Sports Foot & Ankle Injuries

Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa is your trusted source for understanding and managing Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries.

Understanding Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries:

Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries encompass a range of injuries that occur during sports activities, affecting the joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles of the feet and ankles. These injuries can range from mild strains to more severe fractures and tears.

Causes of Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries:

Sports-related activities can lead to various types of Foot and Ankle Injuries, including:

  • Ankle Sprains: Overstretching or tearing of the ligaments due to sudden movements or trauma.
  • Stress Fractures: Microscopic cracks in bones due to repetitive impact and stress.
  • Achilles Tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon caused by overuse or improper technique.
  • Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament resulting from repetitive strain.
  • Turf Toe: Hyperextension of the big toe joint, often seen in activities requiring rapid direction changes.

Common Symptoms of Foot & Ankle Sports Injuries:

Recognizing the symptoms of Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries is crucial for timely treatment. Athletes may experience:

  • Pain: Discomfort ranging from mild to severe, often worsened by movement.
  • Swelling: Inflammation and swelling around the injured area.
  • Bruising: Visible discoloration due to blood vessels breaking from the injury.
  • Limited Range of Motion: Reduced ability to move the foot or ankle freely.
  • Instability: Feeling of joint instability or weakness.

How Are Foot & Ankle Sports Injuries Diagnosed?

Accurate diagnosis is essential for creating a tailored treatment plan. Our experienced specialists use a combination of methods, including physical examinations, imaging (X-rays, MRI scans), and discussing your athletic history. This helps us identify the specific injury and its severity.

Advanced Treatment Options:

At Premier Orthopedic Specialists of Tulsa, we offer advanced treatment strategies for Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries:

  • Rest and Rehabilitation: Mild injuries often benefit from rest, ice, compression, and targeted exercises.
  • Physical Therapy: Our skilled therapists design rehabilitation programs to promote healing and restore function.

  • Dr. Scott Plaster performed my left knee replacement. He is a caring, skilled doctor who cares about his patients and their welfare in recovery and is up-to-date on new procedures. My surgery and recovery went extremely well and I recommend him to anyone looking to have a knee replacement. I could not be more pleased. When it is time for my right knee to be replaced, I will definitely go back to him.

    I wish I would have seen her right away, it would have been a completely different outcome on my injury. Now it will be unable to be fixed. The first orthopedic was not experienced enough to know about the type of injury and did more harm than good for me. I would have done things so much different if I had seen Dr Berg first!!!!!

    Highly recommend this practice. The staff and Dr. Davies were very welcoming and nice. They got me in and out quickly, while taking time to listen. Plus they really seem to care about their patients and helping them with their pain. And Dr. Davies came up with a great treatment plan for my condition.

    Dr.Davies was amazing. He was very thorough with the visit I will admit he spoke very fast but he made sure to right everything down and make sure you understood. The wait time was hardly 10 minutes after I checked in. And the staff was amazing crystal at checkout especially. I highly recommend Dr.Davies to anyone who has any issues with their ankle or foot.

    Dr. Berg is absolutely the best! I never felt rushed and she always answered all of my questions. I can't even see the scars from my Carpel tunnel surgery. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. The staff is also very friendly and helpful😇

    Dr. Davies explained what options I had in an easy understandable way. Wasn’t pushy about trying to get me to make a decision right then but said if pain gets more intolerable, give him a call.

    Dr. Davies and his staff are very friendly and easy to talk to, they are willing to listen and give you feedback in a way that makes sense to you as the patient not another medical professional. I will recommend him and his office to my fellow veterans. Thank you all for your help. Sincerely; Wesley Sharp, US Army Retired.

  • For more than 25 years, I have followed Dr. Plaster due to his excellent care. He has moved from one place to another but his care has never changed. As a patient, I have always followed his direction and done what he has asked of me.
