Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 2. Clin Sports Med. 2008 Apr;27(2):295-304. doi: 10.1016/j.csm.2008.01.002. Foot and ankle fractures in dancers. Goulart M(1), O'Malley MJ, Hodgkins CW, Charlton TP. Author information: (1)Weill Medical College of Cornell University, 523 East 72nd Street, New York, NY 10021, USA. Fractures in the dance population are common. Radiography, CT, MRI, and bone scan should be used as necessary to arrive at the correct diagnosis after meticulous physical examination. Treatment should address the fracture itself and any surrounding problems such as nutritional/hormonal issues and training/performance techniques and regimens. Compliance issues in this population are a concern, so treatment strategies should be tailored accordingly. Stress fractures in particular can present difficulties to the treating physician and may require prolonged treatment periods. This article addresses stress fractures of the fibula, calcaneus, navicular, and second metatarsal; fractures of the fifth metatarsal, sesamoids, and phalanges; and dislocation of toes.
