“…The later recommendation of partial release of only the medial two-thirds of the plantar fascia led to a decreased incidence of lateral column overload [35]. Endoscopic fascitomy had less common recurrent pain, neuritis, infection and earlier functional recovery compared with traditional surgery [16,36].…”

“…Remission of the symptoms is complete in most of the cases but, when symptoms persist after more than six months, surgery could be recommended. The classical operation has been the open release of the fascia [3,4]. Many procedures have been advocated, with controversial findings, different rates of satisfaction, and complications such as infection, recurrence, wound breakdown, and iatrogenic damage to nerves and vessels [3,4].…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to report the long term effectiveness of endoscopic plantar fascia release for recalcitrant plantar fasciopathy. Materials Twenty-three consecutive patients underwent endoscopically-assisted plantar fascia release for symptomatic plantar fasciopathy unresponsive to nonoperative measures. The clinical diagnosis was supported by imaging (plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was administered to all patients. All patients underwent endoscopic plantar fascia release. Postoperatively, patients were assessed at clinical examination and the AOFAS score was administered. Results Twenty-two (26 feet) of the 23 patients included in our original cohort returned to our clinic at an average final follow-up of 9.6 years. The mean preoperative AOFAS score of 51 (range, 41-63) improved to 89 (range, 41-97) at the last follow-up, with no statistically significant difference between patients with or without calcaneal bone spur (p=0.43). At the last appointment, physically active patients reported significantly higher AOFAS scores than sedentary patients (p=.008). Conclusions This endoscopic plantar approach could be a viable alternative to more invasive procedures for management of recalcitrant plantar fasciopathy. Future randomised controlled trials are needed.

“…24,26 Endoscopic release of the plantar fascia alone has been reported to have a success rate of 81.1% to 97%. [27][28][29][30][31] When it is combined with calcaneal spur removal and calcaneal drilling, most underlying aetiologies of heel pain can be resolved, and the outcome in terms of function, pain, and patient satisfaction improves significantly. 15 However, the endoscopic approach cannot address the entrapment of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve.…”

Purpose. To compare the outcome following lateral plantar nerve release with or without calcaneal drilling for resistant plantar fasciitis. Methods. 30 women and 3 men aged 30 to 60 (mean, 45) years with resistant plantar fasciitis were randomised to undergo release of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve with (group 1, n=18) or without (group 2, n=15) calcaneal drilling. Results. Patients were followed up for a mean of 27 months. According to the modified Mayo scoring system for plantar fasciotomy, group 1 was superior to group 2 in terms of score (93.9±6.97 vs. 83±8.2, p<0.001) and grading (15 excellent, 2 good, and one fair vs. 6 excellent, 4 good, and 5 fair; p=0.031). Three patients in group one and one patient in group 2 (16.7% vs. 6.6%, p=0.381) developed complications of heel numbness, foot oedema, and 2 cases of superficial wound infection, respectively. Conclusion. Adding calcaneal drilling to release of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve achieves better outcome than release alone in patients with resistant plantar fasciitis.
