For plantar plate injuries, surgery is often the most successful long-term option. Surgery allows us to re-establish the plantar plate and restore the affected toe to its normal appearance and function. This minor surgery can correct a common problem and help reduce the pain caused by the tear.
In general, patients who undergo surgery to repair the plantar plate ligament usually recover very well after the procedure. Most patients have a four- to six-week healing process and rarely use crutches.
