Does callus reduction decrease risk of plantar plate sprain?

I got a specific question about a recent episode on calluses in runners.  The question was, “Well, if you have that pattern of callus, and reduce the thickness of the callus so the callus is going away, does that mean there is less pressure there?” You may have checked out the episode on the three callus patterns that I see in runners at high risk for getting a plantar plate injury.  Does callus reduction reduce your risk or decrease the risk that you're going to get a plantar plate sprain?  Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
