“…The open surgery group was followed up for 37.87 months (the follow-up time was not statistically different from the arthroscopy group), the VAS decreased from 60. 21 into open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. [16,24,25] Through the open small incision of the fascia, which is a classic surgical treatment of refractory fasciitis, satisfactory postoperative results were obtained in previous studies; In Chou's research, [26] ninety-one patients with fasciitis were treated with surgery.…”

“…20] Pain in the heel has severely affected the quality of life and the fitness of middle-aged and elderly patients. Most patients with fasciitis have a satisfactory clinical effect after 6-month physical therapy and medication, especially combined with platelet-rich plasma [21][22][23]. Patients with insignificant effects are diagnosed as ones with refractory fasciitis, requiring surgical intervention.…”

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of partial fasciotomy using two-channel arthroscope in the treatment of refractory plantar fasciitis, and to compare it with the clinical effects of partial fasciotomy using minimally invasive open. Methods: Sixty-two patients with refractory fasciitis admitted from January 2015 to July 2017 were randomly assigned to the arthroscopic group and the open surgery group. Arthroscopic partial section was performed using endoscope with inner two-channel portals. The open surgery group underwent partial sacral fascia resection with minimally invasive medial incision. Then compare the pain visual analogue scale (VAS), the American foot and ankle surgery association score (AOFAS), the calcaneodynia score (CS), and the medical outcomes short form 36-item (SF-36) health survey between the two groups. Results: All patients were followed up for at least 24 months, and there was no difference in follow-up between two groups. At the last follow-up, the patient's plantar pain symptoms completely disappeared. There was no recurrence of the bone spurs, and the ankle and foot movements were normal. There was no statistically significant difference in VAS, AOFAS, and CS scores between the two groups. The SF-36 score of the arthroscopy group is significantly higher than the open surgery group. Conclusions: Arthroscopic partial fascia resection with medial access provides better clinical outcomes than the open minimally-invasive surgery. Arthroscopic partial fasciotomy with the medial access provides a new option better than the open minimally-invasive surgery for postoperative daily life.
