Abstract

Injuries of the foot are common among both elite and recreational runners.
Overuse accounts for most of these injuries.
Plantar fasciitis and tendinopathies of the midfoot and forefoot have a high incidence in running athletes.
These injuries may present with significant pain but often resolve with rest and rehabilitation.
Bone injuries caused by overuse also have a high prevalence among runners.
The metatarsals, tarsal navicular, and sesamoids are most at risk for stress damage.
Most running injuries are self-limited and pose little detriment if diagnosis is delayed.
Navicular and sesamoid stress fractures may impart significant long-term consequences, and thus, a clinical suspicion of either fracture warrants definitive diagnosis and treatment.
Barefoot running recently has garnered increased attention, but currently, there is a lack of prospective studies regarding its injury reduction.
