Ultrasound of the plantar aponeurosis (fascia)
Skeletal Radiology, 1999To assess the plantar aponeurosis origin (plantar fascia) using high-resolution ultrasound.The sonographic appearance of the plantar fascia in asymptomatic volunteers was compared with the appearance in: (1) clinical idiopathic plantar fasciitis, (2) inflammatory arthropathy without clinically active plantar fasciitis and (3) Achilles tendon or ankle ...

Pathologic conditions of the plantar fascia
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2005Plantar heel pain in adults is commonly seen in the office of the podiatric foot and ankle specialist. These symptoms may have developed acutely or over a period of time. Often the plantar fascia is the source of the pain, which is caused by a traumatic event or a biomechanical flaw.

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1999
Plantar fasciitis is a major cause of heel pain in athletes and active people. The pain can usually be controlled with conservative measures, such as stretching, the use of arch supports, night splinting, and short-term activity modification, which allow the injured tissue to heal.

Diagnosing Plantar Fascia Rupture
The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1995In brief Though not frequently reported in the literature, plantar fascia tears or ruptures can occur in running and jumping sports. Misdiagnosis as an acute flare of the much more common plantar fasciitis is possible. Though the injury is initially quite disabling, athletes can-as in this case report-return within weeks to competition with proper ...

Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Release
Arthroscopy, 2000Summary: An anatomic exploration showed that reliable landmarks could allow a safe division of the plantar fascia. The reference line was the posterior border of the medial malleolus, 1 cm from the plantar skin. A clinical study on 53 patients (65 feet) showed that, at follow‐up of over 2 years, the procedure effectively relieved heel

A Cadaveric Study of the Plantar Fascia for the In-Step Plantar Fasciotomy
The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2020The in-step plantar fasciotomy has remained a viable option for treatment of plantar fasciitis. The level of the in-step procedure has previously been described as 1.5 cm distal to the anterior heel fat pad. The authors are unaware of any study defining mean width and thickness of the plantar fascia at specific distances from its insertion. The authors

Function of the plantar fascia
The Foot, 1999Abstract The plantar fascia has long been considered to have a significant purpose in the weightbearing foot, both in static stance and in dynamic function. Various functional and structural roles have been indicated by virtue of its anatomical attachments.

Spontaneous rupture of the plantar fascia
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1988In this study, rupture of the plantar fascia was seen in five feet, of which four had had plantar fasciitis. At the time of the injury, which is an acceleration type of motion, there is severe pain in the heel followed by the development of ecchymosis in the sole and toward the heel of the foot. With conservative symptomatic care, the acute symptoms as

Plantar Fascia Release Through a Transverse Plantar Incision
Foot & Ankle International, 1999A transverse plantar incision for plantar fascial release was assessed for pain relief, numbness, and subsequent heel pad symptoms. Twenty-seven feet in 26 patients who underwent plantar fascia release were reviewed with a minimum follow-up of 2 years after surgery (average, 37.6 months).

Endoscopic Plantar Fascia Debridement for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2016When conservative therapy fails for chronic plantar fasciitis, surgical intervention may be an option. Surgical techniques that maintain the integrity of the plantar fascia will have less risk of destabilizing the foot and will retain foot function. Endoscopic debridement of the plantar fascia can be performed reproducibly to reduce pain and maintain ...
