Plantar Plate Injury
Plantar Plate Injuries involve damage to the ligaments that lie beneath the toe joints. They are most commonly found at the base of the 2nd toe joint.
What causes Plantar Plate injury?
Like other injuries in the foot and ankle, there is a variety of possible causes for Plantar Plate injury. Most of these causes are related to excess pressure on the forefoot:
- Biomechanical issues
- Bunions (Hallux-Abducto-Valgus)
- Hammer Toes
- Footwear with inappropriate heel height (high heels) • Jumping sports and forefoot striking when running
- Irregular metatarsal length

What our patients say
I had an excellent experience at Northernhay Clinic in Exeter. From booking the appointment through to the consultation itself, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The clinic is modern, spotless, and very calm, which immediately puts you at ease. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. I felt genuinely listened to and well cared for throughout. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality private clinic in Exeter, I would absolutely recommend Northernhay Clinic for orthotics and any podiatry needs
