“…In cadaver studies of anatomy, various authors have described the variable anatomy of the tibial nerve and its terminal branches in terms of the location of its bifurcation with respect to the flexor retinaculum . The main variations are the bifurcation of the tibial nerve into the medial and lateral plantar nerves with respect to the retinaculum, bifurcation of the medial calcaneal branch, and bifurcation of the first calcaneal branch.…”

“…In this present study, we report the results of patients with chronic heel pain associated with only plantar fasciitis. The success rates with RFNA treatment have been reported as much as 90% in some studies and no difference between the plantar or medial calcaneal approaches was observed (26)(27)(28). We applied RFNA through medial calcaneal approach in this study.…”

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of three popular conservative treatment options in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis (PF): corticosteroid injection (CSI), extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and radiofrequency nerve ablation (RFNA). Material and Methods: Patients with chronic PF refractory to other conservative treatment methods were included in this retrospective study. From January 2017 to February 2019, all the patients with the diagnosis of chronic PF who were treated with conservative treatment modalities were evaluated. Forty eight patients who met our eligibility criteria and treated either with CSI, ESWT or RFNA methods were included in the study. Clinical and functional assessments of the patients were done by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) just before the treatment, at 6 th and at 12 th weeks of the last session. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in terms of VAS scores between the groups both for before treatment and for 6 th week (both p<0.001), but there was not a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of VAS scores at 12 th week (p=0.436). Also, there was not a statistically significant difference between the three groups in terms of AOFAS scores before treatment, 6 th and 12 th week assessments (p=0.076, p=0.081, p=0.478 respectively). Conclusion:Although the three treatment modalities showed significant improvements in the chronic PF treatment, no differences were found among effectiveness of them at the final follow-up period.

Fecha de recepción: 4 de abril de 2018 / Fecha de aceptación: 11 de septiembre de 2018 Resumen. Introducción: La fascitis plantar (FP) está descrita como la causa más común de dolor en el talón. Aunque se considera una patología multifactorial, la limitación de la dorsiflexión del tobillo es uno de los factores más determinantes, predisponiendo al desarrollo de patologías en el miembro inferior. Objetivo: Determinar la exactitud del test de Silfverskiöld como herramienta diagnóstica de la FP a partir del análisis de varios indicadores (sensibilidad, especifidad, valor predictivo positivo y negativo, y razones de verosimilitud positiva y negativa). Método: Se realizó un estudio de validez transversal en 16 sujetos (9 mujeres y 7 hombres) diagnosticados de fascitis plantar unilateral de al menos 3 meses de evolución. Un fisioterapeuta se encargó de evaluar el déficit de dorsiflexión en ambos tobillos mediante el Test de Silfverskiöld. Resultados: Fueron descartados aquellos pies sin problemas de movilidad en dorsiflexión de tobillo, por lo que finalmente fueron analizados 14 pies afectos y 8 sanos. los indicadores de eficacia diagnóstica del test de Silfverskiöld en la FP. Al determinar la eficacia del test de Silfverskiöld como predictor de FP encontramos una sensibilidad de 93,7%, especificidad del 75%, valor predictivo positivo (VPP) de 86,6% y valor predictivo negativo (VPN) de 85,7%. La razón de verosimilitud positiva (RV+) fue de 3,74, mientras que la negativa (RV-) resultó 12,5. Conclusión: El test de Silfverskiöld puede ser considerado una prueba eficaz para el diagnóstico de la FP. Existe una importante asociación entre la limitación en la dorsiflexión de tobillo por restricción de gemelos y la probabilidad de padecer FP.
