Track and field sports involve mainly running, throwing and jumping activities. Injuries will occur mainly due to traumatic or overuse cause. The greater proportion of injuries occurs during training (more than 60 %), 20 % occur during competition. Inadequate remodelling of bone structures and a failed healing response in tendons after repetitive load, may lead to injury. The ankle region is most frequently injured in jumps. The foot is damaged most frequently in sprints. Achilles tendon ruptures, Achilles tendinopathy and navicular stress fracture are discussed in detail, relative to their diagnosis and treatment. Briefly stated, Achilles tendinopathy should be first treated conservatively, as initial navicular stress fractures. Our treatment recommendation for achilles rupture is surgical using a minimally invasive approach. In order to obtain a safe return to sports, different tests have to be performed including range of motion test, balance and propioception tests such as the star excursion balance test, agility tests and strength tests such as the vertical jump test. In general since track and field does not include contact a more predictable return to sports is generally expected.
