“…(Macintyre & Joy 2000;O'Loughlin et al 2008;Allen et al 2012;Gamboa et al 2008). According to Kadel et al (2006) 34-62% of injury involved ankle and foot. A retrospective review was conducted on 204 elite ballet dancers over 5 years period revealed 53% of injury occurred in the foot or ankle, followed by 21.6% in the hip, 16.1% in the knee, and 9.4% in the back (Gamboa et al 2008).…”

ABSTRAK ABSTRACTAnkle injuries are commonly seen in various sports. The main aim of the present review was to highlight the normal anatomy of the ankle, mechanism of injuries related to sports, congenital abnormalities or anatomical variations related to ankle injury and discuss its effective management. A review of literature was done to determine the ankle injuries which occur as a result of various sports related activities. We documented all sports which involved injury to the ankle joint. The anatomy of various structures in the sole of foot and their involvement in injuries were discussed at length. The anatomical knowledge of ankle injury may be beneficial for future diagnosis and treatment purpose.

“…Cunningham et al 4 and Kadel 1 add that the vamp is projected to guarantee feet protection, and when it loses its structural integrity, it increases risk of injuries. Thus, toes, plantar arches and anterior border of the feet are compressed and built the main support and sustaining site to the ballerina, resulting in neuromuscular, physiological and bone stress.…”

“…Therefore, Hiller et al 5 state that the sue of pointe shoes leads to the incidence of injuries, as well as repetitive training and long rehearsal hours are factors which interact and cause injuries by effort excess 6 . Concomitantly, ballet and modern dance practitioners present high incidence of injuries (67% to 95% and 17% to 24%, respectively), out of which, the lower extremity equals to 75% of the cases 1,7 . Bronner et al 8 add that overuse is responsible for the majority of the injuries (60%-76%).…”

Introduction: Technical literature shows high frequencies of injuries occurring in classical ballet dancers; however, only limited information about the permanent effects of chronic diseases are mentioned. Objective: To compare the presence of MSD among dancers who wear pointe shoes and those who do not. Methods: The research was conducted at the 27th Festival of Joinville in Santa Catarina. The study had the participation of 111 dancers, 88 of whom wore pointe shoes while 23 did not. Specific procedures were used to obtain information related to MSD and foot injuries caused by dancing. Results: The most affected parts were the knees (29.7% with pointe shoes versus 39% without), spine (26.4% with pointe shoes versus 22% without), and ankle/foot (20% with pointe shoes versus 12.2% without). Through odds ratio and respective confidence intervals (IC95%), the study identified protection factor in the knees (0.24; CI95% -0.09-0.64) and legs (0.11; CI95% -0.02-0.65) for dancers who wear pointe shoes. It was found that the risk of injuries in specific structures of the foot is significantly higher among those dancers. In this case, the appearance of bunions (9.74; CI95% -1.25-75,99), calluses on the toes (3.46; CI95% -1.29-9.27) and the association of the three (4.47; CI95% -1.69-11.83) were those that showed an increased risk factor compared to dancers who do not stand en pointe. Conclusion: The use of pointe shoes in elite Brazilian dancers was associated to lower occurrence of MSD in the knee and leg, however it was strongly associated to foot injuries
