Plantar vein thrombosis is a venous disorder affecting deep plantar veins that can manifest with non-specific localized pain, plantar foot pain, swelling, and sensation of fullness. Plantar veins are not routinely assessed during sonographic scans for deep venous thrombosis, which makes plantar venous thrombosis a commonly missed diagnosis. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the venous anatomy of the foot and imaging findings of plantar venous thrombosis as well as discusses the current literature on the topic and its differential diagnoses.

“…Ultrasound is reliable and accurate to assess the plantar fascia, and the longitudinal scan is the best plane for imaging [37]. Ultrasound findings include thickening greater than 4.5 mm (the most useful sign), hypoechogenicity of the plantar fascia, and loss of normal fibrillar reflective echotexture.…”

“…Ultrasonography evaluation in PHP research is being increasingly used [ 10 ]. Patients with PHP develop hypoechoic areas or collections of fluid around the plantar aponeurosis [ 11 ] and have abnormal blood flow [ 12 ]. Thus, when PHP is generated, the blood flow to the sole of the foot increases, and fluid component storage may occur.…”

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between posterior tibial artery blood flow velocity and plantar heel pain (PHP). Methods: The PHP group comprised patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis with plantar heel pain during gait, and the control group comprised healthy participants without plantar heel pain. The peak systolic velocity of the posterior tibial artery was measured using ultrasonography; it was measured three times on each side, and the mean value was calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to calculate the peak systolic velocity cutoff value for plantar heel pain. Results: 23 patients (age 58.0 ± 16.5 years; 13 males and 10 females) and 23 healthy participants (age 51.3 ± 17.3 years; 10 males and 13 females) formed the PHP and control groups, respectively. Peak systolic velocity on the affected side was significantly greater in the PHP group (44.1 ± 13.1 cm/s) than in the control group (32.7 ± 5.9 cm/s). No significant difference was observed between the left and right sides in the PHP (7.1 ± 9.8 cm/s) and control (3.7 ± 3.0 cm/s) groups. A cutoff value of 38.2 cm/s was observed on the affected side. Conclusions: We quantified the increase in posterior tibial artery blood flow velocity in patients with plantar heel pain. Peak systolic velocity measurements can aid in quantitatively evaluating these patients. This study was registered as a clinical trial (UMIN000046875) on 1 October 2021.
