    Hi,

    Had a 15 male patient in today who was a keen "Parkour participant'
    See this clip for example of this sport? that is becoming more popular.



    After finding out more about this activity, I feel we may be getting a few new
    patients to see.

    Anyway, he had an injury after a 'wall jump' where he tried to jump up a wall. Aprox 1 year ago. The injury seemed like a turf-toe type injury.
    At the time his father had taped the 1st toe to the 2nd for support.
    Over the year the toe has still been sore and is beginning to take on a HAV position.
    On assessment, there is no crepitus felt, though it is highly unstable, and seems that the medial collateral ligament may be strained, torn.
    I sent for x-ray, and got a peek before sent off for reports and there is a lesion on the met head which has the 'rat bite apearance of gout, with sclerotic borders?

    Im thinking down the line that ligament may have torn off bone taking a peice with it? but where has the fragment gone?

    Parkour

    Parkour (French: [paʁkuʁ]) is an athletic training discipline or sport in which practitioners (called traceurs) attempt to get from point A to point B in the fastest and most efficient way possible, without assisting equipment and often while performing feats of acrobatics.[5] With roots in military obstacle course training and martial arts, parkour includes flipping, running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, plyometrics, rolling, and quadrupedal movement—whatever is suitable for a given situation.[6][7] Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others, and is usually carried out in urban spaces, though it can be done anywhere.[8][9] It involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and envisioning the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.[10][11]

    Although a traceur may perform a flip as well as other aesthetic acrobatic movements, these are not essential to the discipline.[12] Rather, they are central to freerunning, a discipline derived from parkour but emphasising artistry rather than efficiency.

    The practice of similar movements had existed in communities around the world for centuries,[13] notably in Africa[14] and China,[15] the latter tradition (qinggong) popularized by Hong Kong action cinema (notably Jackie Chan) during the 1970s to 1980s.[15][16][17] Parkour as a type of movement was later established by David Belle when he and others founded the Yamakasi in the 1990s and initially called it l'art du déplacement.[18][19] The discipline was popularised in the 1990s and 2000s through films, documentaries, video games, and advertisements.[13][20][21]

    Wow. Surprised they already did a study on traceurs. Interesting subjects after all.

    Yeah, as someone interested in parkour too, I believe they really have techniques to be able to move more efficiently in the world. That's the essence of their discipline after (if I'm not mistaken). The freedom and efficiency to move from point A to point B.
