Don’t Let an Achilles Tendon Rupture Interrupt Your Life
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. It helps you walk, run, and jump. But when the tendon gets stretched too far, it can rupture, resulting in a complete or partial tear. This is usually due to a sudden and strong force on the tendon, which can happen when you jump, pivot on your foot, or move too quickly. It can also occur if you trip or fall.
Understanding Hammertoe
A hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third, or fourth toe. This condition causes a bend in the toe’s middle joint, which makes the toe resemble a hammer—hence the name.
Hammertoes can be caused by a muscle imbalance as well as wearing shoes that don’t fit properly or have a narrow toe box, such as high heels. When shoes that get narrow toward the toe are worn, it causes the toes to bend, and if a toe becomes bent and held in the same position long enough, it can cause the toe to become stuck in this position, creating a hammertoe.
