2 ways capsulitis can lead to plantar plate rupture

If you get a plantar plate sprain, it can take a long time to heal, particularly if you're not paying close attention. 

And because of that, many runners get frustrated.

I see 2 responses to that frustration:

1)  go to the doctor and hope for some kind of quick fix.

2)  just ignore it and run on it because it doesn't really hurt that bad. 

Both of those are bad ideas with plantar plate injuries in runners. 

What are two ways capsulitis can actually lead to a plantar plate rupture? 

Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
