“…It is estimated that 1 in 10 people will develop heel pain in their life time (Toomey, 2009). It accounts for about 10 percent of injuries that occur in runners (Ozdemir et al, 2005;Toomey, 2009;Taunton et al, 2002;Gill, 1996;Prichasuk & Subhadrabandhu, 1994;Rano et al, 2001;Riddle et al, 2003;Kulkarni, 2004) and is common among military personnel (Prichasuk & Subhadrabandhu, 1994). The predominance of the condition according to sex varies from one study to another (Gill, 1996;Riddle, Pulisic, Pidcoe, & Johnson, 2003;Furey, 1975).…”

“…The condition is bilateral in up to a third of cases (Prichasuk & Subhadrabandhu, 1994;Rano et al, 2001;Riddle et al, 2003;Furey, 1975). Studies have identified risk factors that seem to be associated with plantar fasciitis such as obesity, occupations that require prolonged standing, pes planus (excessive pronation of the foot), limited first metatarsophalangeal joint range of motion, leg length discrepancy, reduced heel pad thickness, reduced calf muscles strength and inferior calcaneal exostoses (Toomey, 2009;Taunton et al, 2002;Gill, 1996;Prichasuk & Subhadrabandhu, 1994;Rano et al, 2001;Riddle et al, 2003).…”

“…Plantar fasciitis is usually unilateral, but up to 30 percent of cases have a bilateral presentation (Rome, 2005;Aldridge, 2004;Mario & Roxas, 2005;Buchbinder, 2004). Risk factors for plantar fasciitis are such as obesity, occupations that require prolonged standing, pes planus (excessive pronation of the foot), limited first metatarsophalangeal joint range of motion, length discrepancy, reduced heel pad thickness, reduced calf strength and inferior calcaneal exostoses (Toomey, 2009;Taunton et al, 2002;Gill, 1996;Prichasuk & Subhadrabandhu, 1994;Rano et al, 2001;Riddle et al, 2003). Plain radiographs may reveal a plantar heel spur, which delineates the presence of abnormal stresses across the plantar fascia for at least 6 months (Gill, 1996).…”

Aim: To evaluate the results of endoscopic release of plantar fascia in resistant cases of heel pain.Methods: An experimental descriptive study involved twenty patients who presented to University hospital with resistant chronic plantar heel pain due to plantar fasciitis, were treated with endoscopic plantar fasciotomy. All patients completed a period of at least six months follow up. Data were collected by the modified American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Questionnaire, informed consent was applied, and SPSS was used for data entry and analysis.Results: At the end of follow up the mean modified AOFAS of ankle-hind foot score was improved from 49.10 (ranging from 34 to 56) pre-operatively to 90.25 post operatively (ranging from 67 to 100). Seven patients (35%) had excellent results, ten patients (50%) had good results, two patients had fair results, and one patient (5%) had a poor result. AOFAS score of pain was improved from a mean of 14.0+9.40 points pre-operatively (range 0 -20) to 31.5 + 6.71 points post-operatively (range 20 -40). AOFAS score of activity of daily living improved from a mean of 4+0 points pre-operatively to 9.85+0.671post-operatively ranging from 7 to 10 points. Conclusion:Endoscopic release of plantar fascia has positive therapeutic effects in cases of resistant chronic heel pain.Keywords: endoscopic, release, plantar fascia, resistant chronic heel pain Importance of StudyChronic plantar heel pain is one of the most common conditions affecting the foot, by an experimental descriptive study conducted to evaluate the results of endoscopic release of plantar fascia in resistant cases of heel pain, and concluded that endoscopic release of plantar fascia as a positive therapeutic method that is used in cases of resistant chronic heel pain.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and foot joint pain (FJP) over a 5-year period in a community-based cohort.MethodsWe examined a subset of women from the Chingford Women's Study, a community cohort followed up for 20 years. From a baseline of 1,003 female participants, we reviewed data from 639 women (64%) for whom complete data sets for FJP and BMI were obtained over a 5-year period between year 10 (Y10) and year 15 (Y15). Descriptive statistics, binary regression modeling, and odds ratios (ORs) were used to examine the longitudinal relationship between BMI and FJP.ResultsFor Y10 and Y15, the median age was 61 years (interquartile range [IQR] 57–67) and 66 years (IQR 62–72), respectively, and the mean ± SD BMI was 26.7 ± 4.6 kg/m2 and 27.2 ± 4.8 kg/m2, respectively. FJP prevalence was 21.6% at Y10 and 26.6% at Y15. Longitudinal analyses showed that both BMI and FJP increased significantly from Y10 to Y15 (P < 0.001). The odds of having FJP after a 5-year period increased by 4.9% for each BMI unit increase 5 years earlier (OR 1.049 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.011–1.089], P = 0.012). This remained significant when adjusted for age, diabetes mellitus, and rheumatoid arthritis (OR 1.051 [95% CI 1.011–1.091], P = 0.012).ConclusionThis is the first large longitudinal cohort study demonstrating that, in middle-aged women, a high BMI precedes and is predictive of FJP independent of age. Evidence from our findings can be used to identify those individuals at risk of developing FJP.
