Abstract
In brief Though not frequently reported in the literature, plantar fascia tears or ruptures can occur in running and jumping sports. Misdiagnosis as an acute flare of the much more common plantar fasciitis is possible. Though the injury is initially quite disabling, athletes can-as in this case report-return within weeks to competition with proper diagnosis, intervention, and rehabilitation.
