“…Fortunately, 85-90 percent of these cases will respond to conservative treatment, and 15-10 percent will need operative intervention (Davis et al, 1994;. Surgery for plantar fasciitis should be considered only after all other forms of treatment have failed (DuVries, 1957). Hassab and El-Sherif suggested drilling of the calcaneus to relief heel pain.…”

“…In 1957, DuVries described the classic surgery for plantar fasciitis or heel spur syndrome. He performed the surgery through a medial incision in which he removed the fascia from its insertion and subsequently removed the heel spur (DuVries, 1957). Others have used a minimal incision technique with just a stab incision on the plantar or medial aspect of the foot (Parrett, 2002).…”

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.

“…Ancak topuk ağrısı olmayan populasyonun %16'sında da yine kalkaneal spur görülebilmektedir. [12,13] Ayrıca Du Vries ve Tanz spur origosunun flexor digitorum brevis'in baş-langıç yeri olduğunu ve plantar fasya ile ilgisi olmadığını da göstermişlerdir. [2] Bu nedenle tüm kalkaneal spurlar ağrı nedeni olarak değerlendirilmemelidir.…”

“…The outgrowth usually extends the entire width of the tuberosity or approximately 2.0 or 2.5 cm. [25][26][27][28] Also present in this area are the origins of the plantar fascia and intrinsic musculature of the foot. Some investigators believe that the plantar spur forms at the origin of the plantar fascia; others have suggested that spurs form at the origin of the intrinsic musculature.…”
