You notice one pocket of minimal swelling over the athlete’s distal medial tibia over which he is point tender. He also wakes up through the night with sharp, intense pain in his shin. What is his injury? How do you know? SCENARIO #2 A basketball player enters the athletic training room with pain in her heel. You don’t notice any swelling, but she is tender along the plantar aspect of the foot, especially over the medial aspect of the calcaneus. She observes that most of her pain is in the morning with her first few steps, but tends to start to feel better once she’s up and moving. Some pain is elicited with toe flexion. What is her injury? How do you know? SCENARIO #3 You are covering a tennis match when one of the participants goes down. During play she was moving laterally to return a ball and tried to quickly change directions. She says she felt her ankle roll and felt a pop. She is in a moderate amount of pain. You are able to remove her shoe and sock and notice that she has a moderate amount of swelling over the ATF and CF. There is also some discoloration and she is hesitant to put weight on the foot when she gets up. What is her injury? How do you know?
