Abstract

Sports injuries of the foot can occur as sequelae of acute trauma or chronic overuse. Besides clinical examination, imaging plays a major role in the detection of structural abnormalities and the differential diagnostics. This article reviews the most important sports-related soft tissue and bone pathologies of the forefoot and midfoot together with their typical findings on radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
