What is a Plantar Plate Injury?
The plantar plate is a strong ligamentous structure that connects the metatarsal bones to the toes, providing stability to the forefoot. When this structure becomes damaged or inflamed, it results in a plantar plate injury. This condition is often caused by repetitive stress, trauma, or biomechanical imbalances in the foot.
