“…The range of CS (77%) in our obese patients with T2DM is in accordance with Bassiouni, who reported a 72% incidence rate of CS in patients with rheumatologic disorders above the age of 61 (17). Existence of plantar fasciitis in diabetic patients is controversial.…”

Objective: Obesity is a risk factor for calcaneal spur (CS) formation. Diabetes mellitus may contribute to the risk of CS due to the decreased ability of tissue repair and peripheral neuropathy. Thus, we aimed to determine the frequency of CS in asymptomatic obese subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Also, we tried to find the related factors of CS in patients with T2DM. Material and Methods: Ninety-three obese patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 42 obese control subjects without glucose metabolism disturbances were enrolled in the study. A questionnaire was made about the duration of T2DM, age, and occupations of the participants. Physical, laboratory, and x-ray examinations of all cases were made. SPSS 15.0 was used for statistical analyses. Results: Patients with T2DM and control groups were similar in mean age and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.196, p=0.073, respectively). The existence of CS in the T2 diabetic group was significantly higher than in the control group (p=0.023). T2 diabetic patients with CS had significantly higher neuropathy existence, mean age, and BMI than T2 diabetic patients without CS (p=0.001, p=0.016, p=0.043, respectively). There was a positive correlation between the existence of CS and peripheral neuropathy and age (p=0.025, p=0.001, respectively). Conclusion:Increased ratio of CS in obese T2 diabetic patients may be important because of the relation between CS existence and complications of diabetes mellitus. Clinicians should pay more attention to increased frequency of CS in patients with T2DM, to avoid diabetic foot complications and other malformations.

“…In the present study, Plantar spur (27%) is more common than the Dorsal spur (8%), which is similar to the study of Bassiouni [13]. However Jagdev Singh et al [12] study have reported higher incidence of dorsal Calcaneal spur (15.5%) than the inferior Calcaneal spur (6.5%).…”

“…Li and Muehleman [14] have stated that the bony trabeculae in the spur were aligned in the direction of stress and not along the soft tissue traction, thereby emphasizing the hypothesis that Calcaneal spur is a skeletal response to stress during walking, running etc. Bassiouni [13] has reported that 81% of patients with osteoarthritis had Calcaneal spur when compared to the controls. Various studies have reported that patients with two facet configuration with fused anterior middle facet and separate posterior facet have lesser stability and are…”

Background and Aims: Calcaneum, also called as the "Heel Bone" is the largest and strongest tarsal bone in humans. It acts as the posterior pillar of the longitudinal arches of foot for the transmission of body weight. The Calcaneum articulates with the Talus bone superiorly by three articular facets, forming a Subtalar joint. In the present study, the variations of the Talar articular facets on the Calcaneum, presence of Calcaneal spur are observed along with morphometric analysis of Calcaneum.

“…However, a placebo effect cannot be totally excluded [12]. In according to literature, Miszczyk et al [29] considered that there are no acute or late toxicity in cases of plantar fasciitis patient irradiation [24,30,31]. Surenkok et al [32] valued a low risk of secondary cancer after irradiation therapy, and conclude that radiotherapy is an effective therapy solution for relieving pain in calcaneal spur patients.…”

This review focuses on the various techniques of conservative treatment of plantar fasciitis and posterior heel pain. Being the optimal therapy controversial, the intent is to drive surgeons and rehabilitation specialists in the choice of the strategies. The Data sources were MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Psych INFO databases using the selected key words. Studies have been selected for review using as criteria English, adults, clinical population and intervention. Among several published studies about rehabilitation and fasciitis, only a few showed bases on scientific evidence. Moreover, many studies were heterogeneous and included different outcomes and evaluations. There is consensus that a specific rehabilitation program is necessary to avoid chronicity. However, the real efficacy of every specific treatment (orthoses, stretching, radiotherapy, botulin toxin, shock waves, corticosteroid therapy, and platelet rich plasma) is still questionable, and often related to the experience of the authors. In conclusion, patients undergoing physiotherapy obtain a better and faster outcome achievement than non-treated patients; however, evidence-based treatments, protocols and clinical trials are recommended.
