The dancer's foot and ankle are subjected to high forces and unusual stresses in
training and performance. Injuries are common in dancers, and the foot and ankle
are particularly vulnerable. Ankle sprains, ankle impingement syndromes, flexor
hallucis longus tendonitis, cuboid subluxation, stress fractures, midfoot
injuries, heel pain, and first metatarsophalangeal joint problems including
hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, and sesamoid injuries will be reviewed. This
article will discuss these common foot and ankle problems in dancers and give
typical clinical presentation and diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
