“…Since there is a strong relationship between the CSL values before and after ESWT, our findings supports that ESWT can successfully decreases the CSL in the clinical settings of this study. The VAS scores before and after ESWT appeared as correlated slightly; this was in accordance with the data of literature [18][19][20]. Moreover, ESWT in the overweight and obese patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur resulted in a decrease in the length of calcaneal spur measured as an objective technique first time in the present study.…”

Abstract. OBJECTIVE:We aimed to evaluate the effects of extra corporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) on the calcaneal spur length and pain severity in overweight and obese patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur. METHODS: In eighty patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur, ESWT was administered on days 0 and 7, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores and calcaneal spur lengths (CSLs) before and 3 months later after treatment were recorded. A lateral heel radiograph was used for computer-aided linear measurements of CSL. RESULTS: Of 80 patients, 59 (73.7%) were female and 21 were male (26.3%); age was 45.9 ± 8.3 years; BMI was 31.6 ± 4.4 kg/m 2 ; and symptom duration was 2.3 ± 2.4 years. The CSL and VAS score after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (CSL before vs. after: 5.7 ± 1.0 vs. 4.4 ± 0.9, p = 0.001; VAS score before vs. after: 8.3 ± 1.4 vs. 4.6 ± 2.2; p = 0.03). The CSLs before and after treatment had a significant strong correlation (r = 0.832, p = 0.001). The VAS scores before and after treatment presented a significant mild correlation (r = 0.242, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: In overweight and obese patients with symptomatic calcaneal spur, ESWT reduces the CSL and pain severity during a follow-up of three-month duration.

“…2 Calcaneal spurs can be of two types: Achilles and plantar. 3 There are various studies regarding the incidence of calcaneal spur in various countries Australia (55.1%), Thailand (15.5%) and the Caucasian population (15.7%). [4][5][6] But not much studies have talked about its incidence among the Indian population.…”

Background: This is an observational study that was carried out to find out the incidence of calcaneal spur among Indian population with heel pain as it is one of the most commonest complaints of patients coming to out-patient departments.Methods: Radiological assessment with 200 ankle lateral view x rays were taken for patients (100 male and 100 female) with complaints of heel pain.Results: 118 out of 200 patients with heel pain had calcaneal spur either plantar or at achilles insertion or both of which 60% of them were women. Most common age group affected was 40-50 years.Conclusions: Incidence of calcaneal spur in Indian population with heel pain is 59%.

“…In general, ∼10% of the population had heel pain, which is mostly at the site of the plantar fascia attachment to the medial tubercle of the calcaneus process and is usually caused by plantar fasciitis [10]. Plantar fasciitis is known to be associated with the formation and presence of calcaneal spur; however, it remains debatable and no clear evidence shows the association between them.…”
