“…The above researchers, also, showed that muscular skeletal inflammation (compartment syndrome) in leg region and stress fractures (tibia and metatarsal bones) are common injuries in aerobic instructors. Iwamoto and Takeda (2003) revealed that classical ballet, aerobics, tennis, and volleyball athletes predominantly sustained stress fractures of the tibia shaft. More specifically, they showed that 6.6% of all sport injuries and 12.5% of all aerobic injuries were stress fractures (tibia, metatarsal and tarsal bones).…”

. Dance aerobic has been increasingly popular in the last years, engaging people of all ages, improving cardiovascular system and ameliorating psychological mood. Dance aerobic instructors guide, organize and entertain all classes suffering, thus, from a number of frequently appearing injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of muscular-skeletal injuries in female dance aerobic instructors in Greece. The sample of the study was constituted of 273 female aerobic instructors who were educated in public and state colleges of physical education and sports in Greece and were observed over a period of three years (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009). For the statistical treatment of the data, the method used was the analysis of frequencies and the nonparametric test X2. According to the results, 57.1% of the instructors were injured, most of them (19.8%) were injured once, 69.2% twice and 11% three times. The injury rate was 0.18 injuries per aerobic instructor per year. Out of all injuries, 79.5% was overuse syndromes. The most frequent site of injury was the leg (33.7%) followed by the knee (27.5%) and the back (22.9%). Tendonitis (22.1%), compartment syndrome (15.6%), low back pain (13.4%), and sprain (16.3%), were the most common diagnoses. Further research is needed to correlate the injury rate in aerobic instructors to the external risk factors, in order to prevent the high injury rate that the present study has recorded. In conclusion lowering the risk of injuries still further will benefit both female dance aerobic instructors and participants by enabling a greater enjoyment of the sport, better fitness, and less cost to the individual and the community.

“…Metatarsal fractures account for about 35% -80% of all foot and ankle fractures and 5% of all body fractures (6,7). In an extensive study, it has been shown that metatarsal fractures are the third common fractures of the body and the most common fractures of the foot (8). Although there are limited demographic information regarding toes fractures (9), it has been reported that these injuries account for 8% -9% of all fractures (10,11).…”

Background: Although forefoot fractures are of the most common orthopedic injuries, there are limited studies regarding the outcomes of nonoperative treatment of these fractures. In the current randomized clinical trial, for the first time, we evaluated the outcomes of nonoperative treatment of metatarsal bone fractures using off-loading shoes compared with casting. Methods: In this study, there were 60 patients with metatarsal fractures without indications for surgical management who were assigned to the two equal groups: casting (group C) and off-loading shoe (group OS). The rate of fracture union was investigated. Also, the pain severity and patient satisfaction were measured based on visual analogue scale (VAS). Patients were followed for six months. In the last examination, American foot and ankle score (AOFAS) was completed. Finally, the outcomes were compared between two groups.
