10m
Explore Dr. Tim Maggs’ approach to evaluating persistent foot pain through the case of a 45-year-old marathon runner struggling to return to running and basketball.
Dr. Maggs reviews the patient’s X-rays, a 14.3-millimeter difference in femoral head height, and a heel spur finding. He discusses how these findings inform his recommendations for orthotics, a heel lift, and further imaging to investigate possible bone marrow edema.
The discussion also revisits runner Grace Kahura’s experience with ongoing heel pain, illustrating how Dr. Maggs incorporates imaging and biomechanical assessment into his care planning. Throughout the case review, he shares practical insights into explaining findings, discussing MRI options, and helping patients understand the proposed treatment plan.
