Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries THE FOOT, ANKLE, AND LEG 1. The cause of the injury was most likely form from a constant over use while hyper extending the great toe. Most likely I would assume that the individual had a case of turf toe. In terms of how I would manage it, I would use ice therapy, NSAIDs, rest and I’d make sure to immobilize the joint form excessive motion. A metatarsal pad under the first metatarsal might be implemented too in order to relieve stress. If I saw that it was a severe injury, I would most likely restrict his playing until the symptoms disappear. 2. One of the first questions that I would ask the individual would be “did you hear or feel a pop when you injured your foot'” Next, I would check for a visible defect in the tendon, inability to stand on tiptoes or even balance on the affected leg, swelling and bruising around the malleoli, excessive passive dorsiflexion, and a positive Thompson’s test. If there was no real positive testing to these things, I would move on to check for a large amount of inflammation, and see if there was any loss of ROM.
