Fig. 6 —92-year-old female soft-embalmed cadaver. Sagittal proton density–weighted MR image of third plantar plate of left foot shows replacement of normal plantar plate fibers with a hyperintense focus (long arrow) on articular surface. Thin section of low-signal-intensity plantar plate persists on plantar surface, suggestive of partial-thickness tear of plantar plate. Short arrow indicates intact plantar plate fibers. Arrowhead indicates proximal plantar plate, which is completely intact.
