2007: LJ could be out a while. Possible long term injury?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Plantar Fasciitis is something that is more chronic and related to long term standing and weight bearing.

It's much more likely that it's a Lis Franc injury. That's the injury that pretty much ended Duce Staley's career, but Kevin Jones only missed a year...but those are Lis Franc Fractures and dislocations

From wiki:

At present, such an injury happens typically when one steps into a hole and the foot twists heavily. Falling from a height of two or three stories can also cause this fracture. American football players commonly get this injury when they have their foot pointing down and someone lands on their heel. There are also other ways of receiving such an injury.

Treatment

Treatment options include operative or non-operative treatment. If the dislocation is less than 2mm, the fracture can be managed with a POP(plaster of Paris) or dynacast for 6 weeks. The patient's injured limb cannot bear weight during this period. For operative treatment, percutaneous screws +/- k-wire will be used for internal fixation of the fracture. Again, the patient's injured limb cannot bear weight. The screws/k-wires must be removed before weight bearing.
