Podiatric Physicians play a prominent role in all aspects of treating and managing foot and ankle injuries in the local, regional, and even national sports communities. Many are involved on a collegiate and professional level and have committed to being on the playing field throughout the season. I acknowledge the Sports physician careers of Drs Lowell Weil Sr and Jr, Dr. Howard Liebeskind, Dr. Robert Mohr, Dr. Patrick Deheer, and Dr. Larry Oloff, just to name a few.
Besides athletes who compete at the highest level, many of our active patients are also “athletes” in their lives. Regardless of whether your practice consists of competitive athletes, Podiatric physicians keep all levels of athletes on their feet and will always play an integral role in getting people back from injury to the playing field of life.
This issue looks at the current discussions on many topics sports related, yet is applicable to almost every patient who maintains a certain level of activity and fitness. I am grateful to Dr Oloff and his efforts in putting this tremendous group of authors together. I hope you enjoy this issue.
