“…The subcalcaneal bursa is thought to be an anatomical bursa with synovial lining that is located between the plantar fascia and the plantar fat pad, although information about this bursa is very limited and controversial (11). Magnetic resonance imaging and MSUS usually show fluid collection in the bursa in subcalcaneal bursitis that results from degenerative disorders (12). For RA patients, we searched and found only one case report describing subcalcaneal bursitis with synovial proliferation invading the calcaneus in long-standing active RA (13).…”

In early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), proliferative synovitis sometimes occurs earlier in the tenosynovium or bursal synovium than in the articular synovium. Here we report two patients who presented with subcalcaneal bursitis while progressing from undifferentiated arthritis with high-titer anti-CCP antibodies (ACPA) to a diagnosis of RA. They had initially presented with palindromic transient pain in the hands and the feet. They were strongly positive for ACPA and negative for rheumatoid factor (RF) at the onset of symptoms. A few years later, they developed persistent plantar heel pain and underwent musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS). MSUS revealed subcalcaneal bursitis with synovial proliferation. At that time, they became positive for RF and they were clinically diagnosed and began receiving treatment for RA. They developed overt synovitis in their wrists and fingers several months later. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on MSUS-detection of subcalcaneal bursitis with synovial proliferation in patients in the very early phase of RA, although there have been many reports of forefoot bursitis. These cases suggest that MSUS scanning of the plantar surface of the heel may be useful for patients with plantar heel pain who are suspected of having a very early phase of RA, because proliferative synovitis can be detected as subcalcaneal bursitis.

“…-Bursitis subcalcánea: consiste en la inflamación de la bursa plantar del calcáneo. Su etiopatogenia se relaciona con una pérdida de la capacidad de amortiguación de la región plantar del retropié que empeora con el traumatismo repetitivo que supone la marcha (Martínez Jiménez and Díaz Velázquez, 2010;Yi et al, 2011;Yamakado, 2013).…”

Plantar fasciitis (FP) is a frequent and disabling condition that can be treated with focused extracorporeal shock waves.The main objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of focused extracorporeal shockwave treatment in FP according to the energy density used.Eighty-two patients with a clinical diagnosis of FP were included and assigned, by simple random sampling, to two treatment groups: medium-high energy density (0.59mJ/mm2) and medium-low energy density (0.27mJ/mm2).Pain and functionality were assessed using the VAS (Visual Analogical Scale) and AOFAS (American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Scale) scales, respectively, at the start of the study (baseline consultation), and at the first, third and sixth month post-treatment.Finally, the degree of patient satisfaction was evaluated using the Roles and Maudsley score.The results of the scales in the post-treatment reviews were compared, and statistical significance was obtained for the main study variables (pain and functionality) in each intervention group.Although pain levels and functionality improved in both study groups after treatment, a greater and earlier analgesic and functional response was obtained for the medium-high energy density group.
