Today, the increasing interest in sports, especially among young people and society in general, and due to the spread of sportive activities, foot problems are encountered more frequently. These common foot problems are mainly due to chronic and repetitive strains of plantar fascia. Even though plantar fascia ruptures are less frequent than fasciitis, they require more comprehensive clinical evaluation and management especially in sports professionals; rapid and accurate diagnosis of those with high expectations is critical for the early return to sporting activities. A thorough examination and clinical evaluation with appropriate imaging modalities lead to accurate diagnosis. Non-surgical treatment modalities are preferred more frequently than surgery, and results are mostly satisfactory. Unsuccessful treatments end with chronic symptoms, and problems such as chronic pain and reduced sport performance may be encountered. The sports injury specialists need to know about the diagnosis and several treatment modalities to manage these injuries successfully.
