This study presents the case of a 47-year-old male with right foot plantar fasciitis and a calcaneal spur. Chronic heel pain can be caused by several medical conditions, including plantar fasciitis and a calcaneal spur, which often may be overlooked on initial evaluation. The risk factors, ...
Historically, plantar fasciitis was associated with heel spurs, which were considered to be bony growth resulting from the pull of the plantar fascia.However, further studies have shown that a plantar heel spur does not indicate plantar fasciitis. The size of the calcaneal heel spur has no correl...
Aplantar calcaneal spuris an outgrowth from the bone at the back of the foot known as the calcaneus. This outgrowth is the cause of severe discomfort on the sole of the foot (plantar surface) and pain and is commonly known as heel spur pain. These spurs may develop over a long period ...
However, it may be premature to completely dismiss the significance of plantar calcaneal spurs. Spurs are probably more painful and problematic when other tissue X factors are present, but those factors can and will also cause plantar fasciitis symptoms with or without a heel spur in the equation...
(ADMA), an MRI manifes- tation of chronic compression of the inferior calcaneal nerve suggesting the clinical diagnosis of Baxter's neurop- athy, with MRI markers of potential etiologies, including calcaneal spur formation, plantar fasciitis, calcaneal edema, Achilles tendinosis and posterior tibial...
Patients will report sharp pain across the plantar aspect of the foot, with the infracalcaneal region tender on palpation Diagnosis is clinical, however plain film radiograph can be useful in assessing for a plantar heel spur Initial management is conservative, however corticosteroid injections or plan...

Background: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of intralesional pulsed radiofrequency (RF) in the treatment of calcaneal spur and the results of patients who underwent single and double sessions of RF treatment. Methods: The population of this retrospective study consisted of 460 patients...

position is delineated approximately two to three millimeters below the insertion of the fascia into the tubercle. If a large inferior calcaneal exostosis is present, this reference position should be placed on the same vertical level, but just anterior to the distal aspect of the calcaneal ...
