ballet dancer boy raised by 2 dads

[lonelywombat]

This is a heartwarming story of 2 gay guys who married and adopted 2 boys. One has just won a highly sought after ballet scholarship.

It is an excellent read and I hope it gets wider publicity in the straight press.

Foot and ankle pain is common in ballet dancers. Although clinical examination often points to the underlying cause, imaging is often necessary to confirm the diagnosis and thus ensure appropriate future management. Factors predisposing to the increased incidence of injuries in this population include the classical position in which ballet dancers stand, which is on the tips of the toes in the en pointe position or on the balls of the feet in the demi-pointe position. Furthermore, the repetitious nature of ballet and the long hours spent rehearsing cause over-use injuries. The causes of foot and ankle pain can be thought of in four different groups: the impingement syndromes; tendon abnormalities; osseous pathology; and ligament abnormalities.

Posterior impingement syndrome. This presents with pain and swelling at the back of the ankle in plantar flexion. It is common in ballet dancers due to the forced plantar flexion associated with the en pointe position (on the tips of the toes). Symptoms are due to compression of structures between the calcaneus and the posterior plafond of the tibia.

Excess soft tissue (arrow) indicating a synovitis is seen in this interval.
