Foot and ankle problems encompass a wide range of conditions, including nerve entrapments, tendinopathies, deformities, and overuse injuries. Common presentations include localized pain, deformity, or altered gait. Diagnosis relies on clinical signs, special tests (e.g. Windlass, Mulder's click), and imaging when needed. Management is often conservative—RICE protocol, NSAIDs, orthotics, physical therapy, and footwear modifications. Surgical intervention is reserved for refractory or severe cases. Pediatric considerations include osteochondroses (e.g. Sever’s, Köhler’s, Freiberg’s). Stress fractures and tendon injuries require offloading or specialist referral. A structured approach to diagnosis and targeted therapy ensures functional recovery and minimizes chronic complications.

摘要

Foot and ankle problems encompass a wide range of conditions, including nerve entrapments, tendinopathies, deformities, and overuse injuries. Common presentations include localized pain, deformity, or altered gait. Diagnosis relies on clinical signs, special tests (e.g. Windlass, Mulder's click), and imaging when needed. Management is often conservative—RICE protocol, NSAIDs, orthotics, physical therapy, and footwear modifications. Surgical intervention is reserved for refractory or severe cases. Pediatric considerations include osteochondroses (e.g. Sever’s, Köhler’s, Freiberg’s). Stress fractures and tendon injuries require offloading or specialist referral. A structured approach to diagnosis and targeted therapy ensures functional recovery and minimizes chronic complications.
