Acute rupture of the plantar fascia is a rare but potentially debilitating injury in athletes, particularly those involved in running and jumping sports. Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for a successful recovery and return to play. Conservative treatment, including rest, immobilization, and physical therapy, may be effective in most cases, while surgical intervention may be required in those that are nonresponsive to conservative treatment. We report a case of plantar fascia rupture in a 22-year-old male semi-professional football player who presented with sudden severe pain in the sole of his right foot during a match, followed by a popping sensation and inability to weight bear. The athlete was healthy and had no history of previous injury in the right foot. MRI confirmed a complete rupture of the plantar fascia. The player was treated conservatively and underwent a rehabilitation program. The player returned to full competition after nine weeks, with no limitations.
足底筋膜急性断裂在运动员中虽罕见但可能导致功能障碍，尤其是从事跑跳运动的运动员。早期识别和及时治疗对于成功康复和重返赛场至关重要。保守治疗，包括休息、固定和物理治疗，在大多数情况下可能有效，而对保守治疗无反应的患者可能需要手术干预。我们报告一例22岁男性半职业足球运动员足底筋膜破裂的病例，该运动员在比赛中突然感到右脚底剧痛，随后有爆裂感且无法负重。该运动员身体健康，右脚既往无受伤史。磁共振成像（MRI）证实足底筋膜完全断裂。该运动员接受了保守治疗并进行了康复计划。九周后该运动员恢复了全面比赛，没有任何限制。
