Martinez Foot Injury recently Diagnosed by foot specialist: Taylor Martinez suffered a plantar plate tear of his 2nd MPJ during the 4th quarter of the Wyoming game in week one. His treatment has consisted of PT,immobilization with a leg walker,injections,inserts, and medications. He is no longer having pain plantarly, but the injury has left his 2nd MPJ in a elevated state which can make the joint more vulnerable to capsulitis/tendinitis/metatarsalgia. The tough part of this injury is relieving the plantar pain,which fortunately for Taylor, has completely resolved. The other types of pain associated with this injury can easily be relieved with toe straps/orthotics/pads and medications if needed. His speed should not suffer due to his injury. His CT scan was negative for any type of structural damage to his bones. Mark A. Quist, DPM, F.A.C.F.A.S President of Carolina Foot and Ankle
